| Japan closing final nuclear reactor |
| 2012-05-06 |
| A Japanese power firm on Saturday began switching off the countryÂ’s last working reactor, a spokesman said, leaving it without nuclear power just over a year after the worldÂ’s worst atomic accident in a quarter of a century. As technicians took the initial step to close down the No. 3 unit at Tomari in Hokkaido, the debate over whether Japan needs nuclear power has been reignited, amid increasingly shrill warnings of summer power blackouts. |

| #1 IMO these NucRex will be turned off for too long - even Japanese analysts doubt Tokyo's seriousness in switching over to "Green Techs". |
