It will not be known when Japan will restart a nuclear power? The country will be completely dependent on imported fossil fuels?

Earlier this month 5/2012, Japan was closed nuclear reactor last of its 54 furnaces. Technology Review Report it was raised the issues: it would not be known the time to restart Japan nuclear power? The country will be completely dependent on imported fossil fuels?
Japan was third in the world of nuclear energy, losing from the U.S. and France. Before the earthquake and tsunami in March / 011, 30% of Japan's energy is nuclear energy. Hydropower and renewable energy accounted for only 10%. Fossil energy accounted the highest proportion of imported fuels.
In 1973, import dependency has put Japan on the boundaries of the disaster, when supplies from the Middle East embargo. So Japan must step up its nuclear program, initiated in 1950. But by 2010, more than half of Japan's energy is from oil, of which 85% from the Middle East.
After the accident of a nuclear power plant in January 3-2011 Fukushima1 rate of Japanese nuclear power declines and is replaced by energy from imported fuel. According to the Institute of Energy Economics and Japan, in fiscal year 2011, it had to pay out more than 50 billion dollars every year to import fossil fuels. It also means that the carbon dioxide emission in 2010 Japan's 2% larger than the previous year while the total energy emitted less.
If the end of 2012 a reactor does not work again, then Japan will have to spend an even larger number of advances in 2011 to 60 billion dollars to buy oil, natural gas and coal from abroad. At that time, the carbon dioxide emissions into the environment increased 5.5%.
The closure of nuclear power plant caused a chain reaction, affecting the entire economy. So this is no simple matter that the Japanese government and people need the benefits and risks in a comprehensive way.
Whether Japan gives up atomic energy? Answering to this question is considered by the Japanese Government, it is not just a statement but by concrete actions: re-boot or two nuclear reactors of nuclear power plant Oi Kansui province, southern West Japan. |
