Japan has few Natural Resources. They have to generate their electricity from imported fuels, primarily fossil (petrochemical) fuels. The nuclear reactor is an option to the use of fossil fuels to generate heat to generate electric power, and for Japan, an island nation, it was one that came with acceptable risks.

How many nuclear reactors does japan have?
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.

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.
