Japan shuts down its last working nuclear power reactor this weekend just over a year after a tsunami scarred the nation, Reuters reported.

The shutdown leaves Japan without nuclear power for the first time since 1970.

Public opposition to nuclear power could become more deeply entrenched if non-nuclear generation proves enough to meet Japan's needs in the peak-demand summer months.

据路透社报道，日本特大海啸刚刚过去一年之后，本周末，日本关停最后一座运营核反应堆。

这意味着日本自1970年以来首次进入零核电时代。

如日本在无核发电情况下，仍能满足暑期用电高峰的需求，公众反核电的决心将会更加坚定。
