The effect of the suspending the operation of Hamaoka nuclear plant

Influenced by Fukushima accident, Japanese authority decided to stop operating Hamaoka nuclear plant, which is located on the fault where is most likely to cause great earthquake.


At a glance, it seems to be a nice decision. But, electricity supply won't meet the expected demand in summer. In addition to it, the risk of meltdown remains unless nuclear fuel is moved somewhere.


I can't agree with the authority's judgement.
