Japan running with 49/54 nuclear plants for 10 months

Noticeable fact

Today, January 20 2012, I notice that :
  • On the 54 Japanese nuclear plants, only 5 are operating.
  • This means that, for 10 months now, Japan is running without operating 49 nuclear reactors.
  • In the meantime, no more consequent power generation equipment has been setup.

Questions


  • Who had think, one year ago that the country would be able to run without them?
  • Doesn't it imply that Japan was over-sized regarding power generation?
  • Should it be the same in over developed countries ?
