Posted in: Japan likely to scrap Monju fast-breeder nuclear reactor See in context

To the writer who thought Japan should not shut down all it's reactors, you are too late. Japan already did and for about 2 years there were no operating reactors in the country. Now the former 3rd largest nuclear country in the world, now is down to three operating reactors. The Japanese cancelled their energy efficiency program, because it was too effective. Despite no reactors running for two years Japan had a growing economy and stable CO2 emissions. This is because in 2013 alone 16 reactors worth of power were replaced with renewables and efficiency.

Monju is a special kind of monster and more than any other reactor in Japan is important for it to die. Just like all past breeder reactors have died in the US, UK and France. Too expensive, plagued with technical problems and environmental nightmares.
