非核 (Nuclear Free)

Monday was  considered a good day in Japan. This was the day that Japan turned off their last nuclear reactor which led them to be 100% nuclear-free. The Kansai Electric power turned off the Oi nuclear plant due to necessary inspections. This was the first time that Japan didn't have nuclear activity in decades. Japan hasn't officially selected a date on which they will turn their reactors back on. This means so much because Japan is the worlds third biggest economy. Nuclear plants supply japan with 1/3 of the electricity used. Will America ever be able to make a change which required absolutely no nuclear energy? If a country as technologized as Japan can make such a significant change so  can America.
