- NEW YORK: Japan’s nuclear industry damage, specifically to the Fukushima-Daiichi and Fukushima-Daini nuclear power generating stations, pose material credit risk for the US nuclear generation industry, Moody’s Investors Service said.
The ratings company is not changing any individual US company rates yet as a result, however.
Moody’s said Japan’s nuclear crisis “will be viewed as a material credit negative for the US nuclear generation industry but are not sufficient enough to result in a change to individual issuer ratings or rating outlooks at this time.”
