Japan shuts down its last working nuclear power reactor this weekend just over a year after a tsunami scarred the nation, Reuters reported.

The shutdown leaves Japan without nuclear power for the first time since 1970.

Public opposition to nuclear power could become more deeply entrenched if non-nuclear generation proves enough to meet Japan's needs in the peak-demand summer months.

據路透社報道，日本特大海嘯剛剛過去一年之后，本周末，日本關停最后一座運營核反應堆。

這意味著日本自1970年以來首次進入零核電時代。

如日本在無核發電情況下，仍能滿足暑期用電高峰的需求，公眾反核電的決心將會更加堅定。
