Japan Sets Policy to Phase Out Nuclear Power Plants by 2040

This article was about Japan wanting to get rid of nuclear power. Last year Japan had one of its largest nuclear plant disaster, and it would like to put an end to that. Japan had planned to use nuclear energy for a long time, but after the disasters they want to get rid of it instead. By the year 2040 Japan hopes that all of its nuclear plants are shut down, and they find a new source of energy. Some officials believe that Japan could be at stake if they do not make the right decision. There are some antinuclear people who are pressing Japan to take action even quicker and close all nuclear plants as soon as possible.
