Japan celebrated the switching off of the last of their nuclear reactors today. Thousands marched in the streets waving banners and playing music as their country went nuclear free for the first time since 1970. Hokkaido Electric Power Co. spokesman Hisatoshi Kibayashi said the shutdown of the final reactor was completed late Saturday. Before last year's Fukushima disaster, the nation had 54 nuclear reactors. However, the Japanese government is still pushing to restart two idled reactors at Kansai Electric Power Co.'s Oi nuclear plant in Fukui Prefecture, despite public outcry. The government and power companies will have to win approval in a court of public opinion. Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and key members of his Cabinet have begun a campaign to fire up the reactors at the Oi power station telling the country that they will have major power shortages without them.
