The Swiss authorities have decided to abandon nuclear power plants. may 25, the government announced that up to 2034 all five existing nuclear power plants will be decommissioned. In the period from 2019 through 2034 station exhausts its 50-year lifetimes. Switzerland decided not to continue the work stations and fully receive electricity from other sources. The decision was taken under pressure from the public: a few days ago, about 20 thousand people participated in demonstrations demanding from the authorities to abandon its nuclear program.

Were recorded radiation leaks. To stabilize the situation at the NPP could not until now. In connection with the tragedy, the Japanese government began work on a program of reform in the electricity industry. An important place in the new plans is paid to the development of solar energy. In particular, the new idea of the Japanese authorities is to equip all construction or newly built houses solar panels that will transform them into elements of urban distributed power plants.
