The last working reactor in Japan are closed Saturday to switch, there is no national nuclear power, after just over a year, a quarter of a century the world's worst atomic accident.
At mooring 3 units in Hokkaido, Japan, the need for nuclear power debate has been rekindled as a technical staff ready to close the summer blackout of increasingly sharp warnings.
Hokkaido Electric Power Co., which runs the factory, said that they would in 17:00 (0800 GMT), the control rod insertion, will stop the chain reaction, the reactor cold shutdown "for some time on Monday.
The template will be marked since the 1970s, the lack of resources and energy shortage, Japan has no nuclear power for the first time, until the crash in Fukushima a third of electric power technology.
The tsunami disaster forced thousands of people from their homes around the plant area of ??tens of thousands - some of whom may never be allowed to return.
It did not directly mention any life, but destroyed the local economy, leaving large tracts of land unfarmable radiation from out of the ruins.
With four reactors in Fukushima Prefecture, crippled by natural disasters, the public suspected of nuclear power growth, so that the reactor shut down for a routine safety inspection has been allowed to restart.
When the fission reaction stops in the middle of Saturday night, the entire stability of Japan's 50 reactors offline, even though, as they are worried about the dire consequences for the world's third-largest economy, OECD, from the power industry and institutions more and more urgent appeal.
Last month, the Kansai Electric Power Supply in central and western Japan, including Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, a commercial center, said the hot summer can see that the supply has dropped by nearly 20 percent, in short supply.
Kyushu Electric Power, covering an area further west, as well as Hokkaido Electric Power Co. also said that they would endeavor was made into a hot summer air-conditioning in Japan.
Set an annual loss of $ 3,000,000,000 for the Kansai Electric Power Company last month, reversing a previously sealed thermal-fuel power plants costs increased $ 1.5 billion in profits earlier this year.
A week ago, Prime Minister Minister Yoshihiko Noda government opened the green light in the love of the Kansai Electric Power Company's nuclear power plant run, restart the reactor, but regulators still have to convince those who near the factory life.
Reactor to be dismissed, must now be approved by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) pressure test, and obtained the consent of their communities - this is the final hurdle proved to be the most difficult to overcome.
Critics of nuclear power, Japan has so far managed to reduce the need for the reactor pool Do not look back.
The environmental movement group Greenpeace said on Friday that the country should focus on the increase in renewable energy and improving energy efficiency.
"Despite all the reactors shut down, electricity security of supply is not a threat to Japan, said:" on behalf of long Takada, Japan Greenpeace Climate and Energy Project Director.
"In the 2012 summer peak electricity demand management, energy efficiency, proper load balancing, and energy conservation."
The Takada another large earthquake may be made at any time earthquake volatile, Japan has recently warned that means that the technology is not to be trusted.
Another crisis occur, it is likely, which would break the back of the Japanese economy would be subjected to more people. This is simply not worth the risk, renewable energy clean and safe alternatives at our fingertips. "
