摘要
The nuclear accident in Fukushima in 2011 caused by the Tohoku earthquake and the following tsunami resulted in the shut-down of all fifty-four nuclear reactors and reopened discussions about the safety of nuclear power plants. As Japan is the world's fifth largest energy consumer and a resource-poor country at the same time, the lost nuclear power had to be replaced by the increased import of fossil fuels. The present article analyses the impact of Fukushima nuclear disaster on the economics, environmental policy and the perception of nuclear power in Japan. It also considers the renewables as a potential alternative to nuclear energy. The last part summarizes the implications for the future of nuclear power in Japanese energy mix.
