Japan is providing ammunition to the enemies of nuclear power. Tokyo now has disconnected the reactor 3 of the Tomari nuclear power, the last of the 54 in the country, before the disaster of Fukushima produced 30% of the country's electricity. The Tomari reactor should stop working at two in the afternoon in Spain (23.00 in Japan).
Coinciding with the closure, various anti-nuclear groups have rallied today in downtown Tokyo to celebrate the blackout and express, as in the past, rejected this kind of energy.

The opposition of the prefectures of time prevents nuclear launch and OECD has warned that Tokyo faces a serious economic problem (loss of competitiveness and increased imports) and the threat of blackouts in the summer if not start to connect them.
After the accident in Fukushima, the March 11, 2011, which left thousands displaced, Japan stopped 17 reactors of the East Coast. Some were damaged by the tsunami, others, such as Hamaoka, were highly seismic zone. Then, and as they reached the turn of the refueling stops were off the rest, no date of resumption. Japan's nuclear bosses announced last month that the government already had the results of stress tests of 16 reactors but had not yet decided. Since 1970, when the country had only two reactors, was not without nuclear power. Japan was, after France and the U.S., the third most-nuclear.
Three Japanese delegations in Spain have been the model of renewable
Luis Echávarri, director general of the OECD Nuclear Agency, explained yesterday by telephone at the situation: "Traditionally in Japan are the prefects that they accept the reactors. And while many have passed the stress tests, local authorities refuse to reconnect power. " Echávarri attributes the situation to "the loss of credibility of the government and nuclear industry."
Fukushima's accident brought to light the close relationship between power and the executive and unpredictability in case of tsunami. In addition, there were warning. In 2007, an earthquake for more than twice exceeded the design basis earthquake of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power. Never happened before in the world. In 2011, a replica of the great earthquake exceeded the design basis of Onagawa.
After Fukushima, Tokyo announced that the Ministry of Environment (no relation to the industry) would control nuclear safety. That legal change should be ready in April, but remains in debate, something that does not help credibility.
For environmentalists, the Japanese case is an example, a symbol. "It's a very clear demonstration that you can live without nuclear. It's just a political decision, "said Carlos Bravo, of Greenpeace, which highlights the energy savings that Japan has achieved in just one year.
The main problem will come in summer, when the country has the highest peak power demand due to air conditioning from heat, sweltering, humid. In the great buildings of Tokyo, for example, or you can open the windows. Last year, the capital metro ran almost dark and without many escalators and the Japanese embarked on a tremendous savings in their daily lives. However, this summer could be worse, because there is less nuclear and industrial production recovers.
Being an archipelago, electricity can not import directly from abroad, which is what Germany has done to meet their nuclear. So Japan has replaced the nuclear production with imports of liquefied gas and coal. In the last year (up to frame 2012), the country's trade balance showed a deficit of 54,000 million dollars, and for the first time since 1980 recorded a trade deficit, mainly by the increase in fuel imports.
Tokyo has also launched a program of renewable (until now almost nonexistent), but still take years. In the last six months three Japanese delegations (government, industry and development institute) have visited Spain to learn Spanish the bonus system and 17 other meeting is planned. Among others, the Japanese representatives were cited with Renewable Foundation. "They knew what happened in Spain with the wind and photovoltaic and asked with much interest," a spokesman for the foundation. "Renewables are fine, but take 15 years to take them up," says Echávarri.
The nuclear industry insists that even with three reactors in operation "although they produced no blackouts, the country's situation was critical," according to the Nuclear Forum in an email. Maria Teresa Dominguez, president of the Forum, said in a statement: "Now they will stop operating reactors were maintained and inspected, and we hope to re-operate if tests show they are safe, as Japan and especially Tokyo needs to have nuclear energy. " According to the Forum, without nuclear 5% of electricity demand in the summer may not be covered in the peak demand.
The blackout comes at a delicate time for the nuclear industry. UK, which launched a program to build reactors, has seen the German consortium of RWE and E.ON was removed and how GDF Suez and Centrica have called for more government guarantees to invest in nuclear. Iberdrola, which maintains a partnership with GDF-remains formally bet.
Industry sources believe that is a funding problem at a time of difficult access to credit and the unconventional gas that is offered as an alternative to increasingly expensive to produce electricity.
In France, François Hollande, the favorite in the polls, has promised that in the next five years will close the nuclear Fessenheim. It is the oldest in the country, but is six years younger than Garona.
U.S. to build four reactors, but in southern states, which are guaranteed the price of electricity produced. In the remaining option is to extend life to 60 years and even raised go further.
