日本語

本論文は、気候移行に伴い重要性を増す原子力インフラの安全保障を、ガバナンス依存の脆弱性という概念で分析する。法的権限や規制監督、危機対応能力が分離・争われる状況で、技術的に保護されたインフラが戦略的に脆弱になることを示す。ザポリージャ原子力発電所と核融合規制の比較から、ガバナンス不全と未整備の経路を特定し、国際ガバナンスへの示唆を提供する。

English

This paper introduces the concept of governance-dependent infrastructure vulnerability to analyze nuclear energy infrastructure in the climate transition. It argues that when legal authority, regulatory oversight, and crisis-response capacity are fragmented or contested, technologically protected infrastructures become strategically vulnerable. Through comparing the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant during the Russia-Ukraine war and emerging fusion governance, it identifies pathways of governance breakdown and incompleteness, offering insights for international security and governance.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters

日本のGX文脈において

日本は原子力の再稼働と核融合開発を進める中、本論文のガバナンス依存脆弱性の概念は、規制体制や国際協調の重要性を示唆する。特に、福島後の規制改革や核融合の商業化に向けた制度設計に示唆を与える。

In the global GX context

As nuclear power is positioned as a low-carbon energy source in global climate strategies, this paper highlights governance risks that could undermine its reliability. It contributes to global discussions on critical infrastructure protection and anticipatory governance, relevant for policymakers and regulators overseeing nuclear expansion.

📄 Abstract(原文)

As the climate transition increases reliance on low-carbon but high-consequence energy infrastructures, nuclear fission and emerging fusion systems are becoming more central to energy security, technological competition, and international governance. Existing research on nuclear safety, critical infrastructure protection, regime complexity, and anticipatory governance does not fully explain why technologically protected infrastructures may become strategically vulnerable when the surrounding governance architecture loses coherence. This article develops the concept of governance-dependent infrastructure vulnerability, defined as a security condition in which legal authority, operational control, regulatory oversight, institutional legitimacy, and crisis-response capacity are separated, contested, or insufficiently developed. It employs a qualitative concept-building design combining structured, focused comparison and process-tracing elements across two theoretically selected domains: the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant during the Russia–Ukraine war and the emerging regulation of nuclear fusion in major jurisdictions. The ZNPP illustrates governance breakdown, in which military occupation and contested sovereignty decoupled authority, control, and oversight. Fusion governance illustrates a prospective pathway of governance incompleteness as regulatory institutions develop alongside technological demonstration and prospective commercialization. The article argues that governance-dependent vulnerability arises when misalignment among the functions required for risk coordination makes the catastrophic-risk potential of high-consequence infrastructure strategically consequential. The framework contributes to international security and global governance by specifying how technological systems, institutional arrangements, and geopolitical rivalry interact to produce strategic exposure during the climate transition.
