A year ago, there was an accident at the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan, which caused a release of radioactive materials into the air.  This accident caused nuclear plants to rethink using nuclear power as a source of energy.  This article talks about how some countries have drawn back their current plans for use of nuclear power, like Germany and Mexico.  Although current plans for most countries show that they have leveled off their use of nuclear plants or stopped their use of these plants, there are still some countries with future ambitions of using nuclear plants.  The map shown in this article presents a clear picture of who the leading countries are in nuclear plants and who plans on creating more plants in the future.
