100% nuclear free: Japan shuts down its last reactor
On
Monday (Sunday locally), Japan switched off the last of its operating
nuclear reactors and became 100% nuclear-free for the first time in
decades, apart from soon after the devastating
2011 Tsunami. Kansai Electric Power took offline the No. 4
reactor at its Oi nuclear plant in the western prefecture of Fukui at
1:33 a.m. (1633 GMT Sunday) for inspection. Right now there is no
scheduled date for the reactor to be turned back on. http://www.treehugger.com/energy-policy/japan-shuts-down-its-last-nuclear-reactor-goes-100-nuclear-free.html
