One of the conclusions from the previous presentation on the meeting of AESJ was that the business of the nuclear energy industry should be ``related to national security'' regarding the necessity of nuclear power. If so, business models are necessarily subject to geopolitical considerations. In addition to geopolitical factors that have traditionally been discussed, such as fuel supply chains and nuclear waste disposal methods, the transformation of capitalism is also an important factor in business models.
