Japan: Two years on: How nuclear sells itself post-Fukushima

Japan turns off last nuclear reactor amid fears of surge in gas prices

Guardian: Japan will switch off its last nuclear reactor on Monday, amid fears that a growing dependence on gas imports there could push up electricity bills in the UK. Kansai Electric Power's only functioning reactor was scheduled to be disconnected from the power grid and then shut for planned maintenance, ending hopes that an industry that until three years ago provided 30% of the electricity to power the world's third largest economy would stage a quick recovery. Continuing problems at the Fukushima...
