Before the Fukushima Daiichi Disaster, there were 54 operational nuclear reactors in Japan. Three of those melted down, and one had problems that rendered it inoperable. The government has decided the other two reactors at Fukushima Daiichi cannot be restarted. Also, as other reactors have been shut down for maintenance or refueling, they have not been restarted, with the result that now, in early December 2011, only eight Japanese reactors remain in operation.
