Last year saw a decline in global nuclear generating capacity, stemming largely from the events at Fukushima and several countries’ reactions. Germany, for example, decommissioned more than 8 gigawatts of nuclear capacity immediately following Fukushima. China, a country that still plans ambitious nuclear capacity growth in the future, suspended its nuclear power plant permitting process pending further review. Japan, which has relied heavily on nuclear energy for decades, took many of its reactors offline, leaving only 10 of its 54 nuclear reactors connected to the grid following the earthquake.
Huling taon Nakita ng isang pagtatanggi sa nuclear kapasidad na bumubuo ng global, stemming higit sa lahat mula sa mga kaganapan sa Fukushima at reaksyon ng maraming mga bansa. ' Germany, halimbawa, decommissioned higit sa 8 gigawatts ng nuclear kapasidad kaagad na sumusunod Fukushima. China, isang bansa na pa rin plan ambitious paglago nuclear kapasidad sa hinaharap, sinuspinde proseso nito na nagpapahintulot sa nuclear power halaman nakabinbin sa karagdagang pagsusuri . Japan, na kung saan ay umasa mabigat sa nuclear energy para sa mga dekada, kinuha marami sa reactors nito offline, nag-iiwan lamang ng 10 nito 54 nuclear reactors konektado sa grid ng pagsunod sa mga lindol.
