Nuclear Japan

In the news today, it said that 53 of Japan's 54 nuclear power plants are shut down. The last one will go off-line in May.
Which begs several questions.
Where does Japan get it's electricity from... if 54 generating plants are not running?

What happens to all the specialized workers?

Is a dormant nuclear plant more of a security risk than when it's running?

Does the nuclear fuel get removed?

If the fuel is removed, where does it go?

But, seriously...nuclear plants are massively expensive and generate large amounts of electricity.....so...

What generating system is powering the country now ...if the nukes are offline?..

Is this the leading edge of a massive error in judgement?
