japan s energy storage shutdown
Fukushima nuclear accident
The subsequent inability to sufficiently cool reactors after shutdown compromised containment and resulted in the release of radioactive contaminants into the surrounding environment.: 56–58 The accident was rated seven (the maximum severity) on the INES by NISA, following a report by the JNES (Japan Nuclear Energy Safety Organization).
Japan''s Energy Supply and Security since the March 11 Earthquake
The nuclear crisis may also complicate Japan''s efforts to address climate change challenges. Nuclear energy has been seen as an integral part of Japanese plans to achieve the emission reduction target of 25 percent by 2020. According to the industry, nuclear power reduces Japan''s CO2 emissions by about 14 percent per year.
