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.
Alemanya, halimbawa, decommissioned higit sa 8 gigawatts ng nuclear kapasidad kaagad na sumusunod Fukushima. Tsina, isang bansa na pa rin plan mapaghangad ng paglago ng nuclear kapasidad sa hinaharap, sinuspinde nito nuclear power planta ng pagpapahintulot proseso 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 10 ng nito 54 nuclear reactors konektado sa grid ng pagsunod sa mga lindol.
