Japan: one reactor left after another nuclear shutdown

Japan has shut down its second-last nuclear reactor, raising the possibility of power shortages this summer.

This file picture taken on February 28, 2012 shows workers standing near the stricken Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Okuma, Fukushima prefecture. As of March 8, 2012, Japan has closed all but two of its nuclear reactors following the disaster at Fukushima's power plant. The remaining two may be closed within the next month.
