Switching of the Nuclear Powerplants in Germany now?

Today chancellor Merkel announced to switch of  7 nuclear power plants as a consequence of the fukushima catastrophe.
The decision means cutting 10% to 15% of Germanys power consumption, using the net power production median of the weakest nuclear powerplants (890 MW) and the median of the overall powerplants (1288 MW)

Update: they named the plants in question

These have a net power of 771+785+878+890+1167+1240+1345= 7076 MW or 11.3% of annual consumption.

Update: the last data on power trade balance shows a surplus of 22 TWh
