BONN, Germany (AP) — The German government dismissed calls Wednesday for a last-minute delay in shutting down the country's last three nuclear power plants this weekend.
Opposition politicians and even some members of the Free Democrats, a libertarian party that's part of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's governing alliance, have demanded a reprieve for the remaining reactors, which were already operating without requisite safety checks.
“The nuclear phase-out by April 15, that's this Saturday, is a done deal,” Scholz spokesperson Christiane Hoffmann said.
Successive German governments planned a phase-out of nuclear power. The last three plants originally were scheduled to shut down on Dec. 31, 2022. Scholz ordered a postponement last year amid concerns that Germany might face an energy shortage due to the war in Ukraine.
Lawmakers approved the extension on the condition the plants, which began operation more than 30 years ago, would cease operating by mid-April of this year.
Critics argue that switching off the nuclear plants now deprives Germany of a source of low-emission power and requires the country to keep operating fossil fuel plants that contribute to climate change.
Wolfgang Kubicki, deputy leader of the Free Democrats, said in an interview with the Funke Media Group that Germany has the safest nuclear power plants worldwide and switching them off would be "a dramatic mistake" with painful economic and ecological consequences.
Other members of his party have called for the nuclear plants at least to be maintained as a fallback in case they are needed at a later date.
But doing that would be both illegal and costly, according to Environment Ministry spokesperson Bastian Zimmermann. The ministry oversees nuclear safety in Germany.
Zimmermann said the three reactors — Emsland, Neckarwestheim and Isar II — last underwent safety checks in 2009 and such inspections normally need to occur every 10 years. The requirement was only suspended due to the shutdown planned for the end of 2022, he said.
Any further lifetime extension for the plants would require comprehensive and lengthy security checks again, Zimmermann said.
The country is still searching for a location to permanently store almost 2,000 containers of highly radioactive waste for thousands of generations.
The Economy Ministry dismissed concerns that Germany won't be able to meet its energy needs without the nuclear power plants, which currently produce about 5% of the country's electricity.
Ministry spokesperson Beate Baron said recent studies showed German would be able to maintain its power supply with coal and gas-fired power plants and renewables such as wind and solar, while remaining a net exporter of electricity.
Baron said the government wants to phase in the use of hydrogen that can be produced without greenhouse gas emissions and fired up quickly on days when there's little sun or wind for renewables.

Greenpeace al frente de la lucha en Alemania por el fin de la energía nuclear
Tumblr media
Con el apoyo de diversas organizaciones medioambientalistas de Europa, Greenpeace junto al gobierno alemán, anotaron un hito de trascendencia mundial: el fin de la era de la energía nuclear en Alemania
Luego de décadas de lucha, al fin se cierra una etapa en materia de energía nuclear en Alemania. Greenpeace y numerosas agrupaciones medioambientalistas de Europa junto al Gobierno Alemán han anunciado que no hay vuelta atrás. Para apostar a un futuro de cara al siglo XXI, es necesario volcarse de lleno a las energías renovables, por ello Alemania cerró definitivamente sus últimas tres plantas de energía nuclear en el país.
Las plantas de Isar 2, Emsland y Neckarwestheim 2 fueron desconectadas de modo definitivo por el gobierno alemán. Alemania un país referente en materia de energía renovable en Europa, anunció con júbilo a la prensa que era “el final de una era”, y en un comunicado oficial dio detalles de la desconexión de los tres reactores de la red de electricidad nacional.
La decisión sin embargo, no sorprendió al mundo ya que el cese operativo de las plantas nucleares había sido anunciado para diciembre de 2022 pero, la conflagración en Ucrania propició su postergación. Rusia,que interrumpió el suministro de gas a Alemania desató con ello incertidumbre y temores acerca de una posible emergencia energética en el país.
Para los activistas de todo el mundo que forman parte de las filas de Greenpeace y que luchan contra el uso de la energía atómica, este hecho es toda una victoria de trascendencia global luego de batallar por lograr el objetivo durante 60 años.
Más costos que beneficios
El gobierno alemán explicó las razones globales que hubo que considerar para tomar la decisión de cerrar las plantas nucleares. Entre otras, planteó los altísimos costos que acarrea mantener conectadas las tres centrales atómicas que ya son consideradas antiguas . Por el contrario,considera que es una decisión acertada el invertir esos fondos para la creación de emprendimientos de energías renovables
En sintonía con el cierre de las plantas, el ministro de economía verde, Robert Habeck, se comprometió a lograr la meta de alcanzar que el 80% de la electricidad de Alemania sea de fuentes renovables para 2030. Por ello, ha impulsado leyes que brindan el marco adecuado para que la construcción de parques solares y eólicos sea más expeditiva y ágil en el país.
Por otro lado, la ministra de Medio Ambiente y miembro del Partido Verde, Steffi Lemke, explicó que la decisión tomada por Alemania incluye además, una arista de prevención frente a catástrofes ambientales. Desastres tales como los de Chernobyl , Fukushima o ante la posibilidad de ataques , como los que sufre hoy Ucrania por parte de Rusia, son puntos álgidos a los que hay que responder , explicó la ministra
Según dejó en claro en su discurso, Alemania no necesita hoy plantas de energía atómica nuclear ya que está muy avanzada en materia de abastecimiento por fuentes de energías renovables que son más sostenibles, más seguras y más económicas.
A pesar de que no todos los partidos políticos se mostraron conformes con el cierre de las centrales nucleares y anuncian predicciones de escasez y apagones, los líderes del Partido Verde, afirman en su defecto, que Alemania produce más energía de la que necesita y que exportará su excedente a Francia durante el próximo verano, ya que en ese país las centrales nucleares no estarán operativas debido al calor extremo.
Impacto de la medida en la opinión pública
Los alemanes ,según recientes relevos de opinión pública, se encuentran divididos en sus perspectivas ante el cierre de las plantas nucleares.
Según un estudio de la consultora ARD-DeutschlandTrend, el 60% de los alemanes está en contra de abandonar la energía atómica y solo el 35 % se mostró a favor. Se cree que es por el alto costo que los empresarios deben afrontar para la reconversión energética que Alemania impulsa como plan global para el 2030.
En la actualidad, Alemania es líder del sector de las energías renovables dentro de Europa ya que obtiene casi la mitad de su electricidad de este tipo de fuentes (el 44 % en 2022, según la Oficina Federal de Estadística) y solo el 6 % de la energía atómica.Por ello, toda iniciativa que ponga en marcha será considerada como un precedente del rumbo energético a tomar en todo el continente europeo.

Das System der Stromversorgung in Deutschland hat die Abschaltung der Atomkraftwerke Isar 2 bei Landshut, Emsland und Neckarwestheim 2 gut verkraftet. Im ersten Monat ohne deutsche Atomkraft ist der Strom an der Börse nicht teurer geworden, sondern sogar billiger.
Bruno Burger vom Fraunhofer ISE betont: "Es gibt keine Stromknappheit in Deutschland – und Deutschland hat auch genügend Erzeugungskapazität.“ Wenn zeitweise Strom von anderen Ländern nach Deutschland fließt, heiße das nur, dass die Stromerzeugung zu diesem Zeitpunkt in anderen Ländern billiger als in Deutschland ist.
Die oft kritisierte "Renaissance der Kohle" ist in Deutschland und Europa trotz der Energiekrise ausgeblieben. Im Gegenteil: Deutschland hat nach einem Bericht der Denkfabrik Ember im vergangenen Winter sogar zehn Terawattstunden weniger Kohlestrom produziert als im Jahr zuvor. Vor allem, weil die Energiesparbemühungen erfolgreich waren und im Jahresvergleich rund sieben Prozent weniger Strom verbraucht wurden.

‘A New Era’: Germany Quits Nuclear Power, Closing Its Final Three Plants
— By Laura Paddison, Nadine Schmidt and Inke Kappeler | Saturday April 15, 2023
Germany’s final three nuclear power plants close their doors on Saturday, marking the end of the country’s nuclear era that has spanned more than six decades.
Nuclear power has long been contentious in Germany.
There are those who want to end reliance on a technology they view as unsustainable, dangerous and a distraction from speeding up renewable energy.
But for others, closing down nuclear plants is short-sighted. They see it as turning off the tap on a reliable source of low-carbon energy at a time when drastic cuts to planet-heating pollution are needed.
Even as these debates rumble on, and despite last-minute calls to keep the plants online amid an energy crisis, the German government has been steadfast.
“The position of the German government is clear: nuclear power is not green. Nor is it sustainable,” Steffi Lemke, Germany’s Federal Minister for the Environment and Consumer Protection and a Green Party member, told CNN.
“We are embarking on a new era of energy production,” she said.
A Plan Decades in the Making
The closure of the three plants – Emsland, Isar 2 and Neckarwestheim – represents the culmination of a plan set in motion more than 20 years ago. But its roots are even older.
In the 1970s, a strong anti-nuclear movement in Germany emerged. Disparate groups came together to protest new power plants, concerned about the risks posed by the technology and, for some, the link to nuclear weapons. The movement gave birth to the Green Party, which is now part of the governing coalition.
Nuclear accidents fueled the opposition: The partial meltdown of the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania in 1979 and the 1986 catastrophe at Chernobyl that created a cloud of radioactive waste which reached parts of Germany.

In 2000, the German government pledged to phase out nuclear power and start shutting down plants. But when a new government came to power in 2009, it seemed – briefly – as if nuclear would get a reprieve as a bridging technology to help the country move to renewable energy.
Then Fukushima Happened.
In March 2011, an earthquake and tsunami caused three reactors of the Fukushima Daiichi power plant to melt down. For many in Germany, Japan’s worst nuclear disaster was confirmation “that assurances that a nuclear accident of a large scale can’t happen are not credible,” Miranda Schreurs, professor of environment and climate policy at the Technical University of Munich, told CNN.
Three days later then-Chancellor Angela Merkel – a physicist who was previously pro-nuclear – made a speech called it an “inconceivable catastrophe for Japan” and a “turning point” for the world. She announced Germany would accelerate a nuclear phase-out, with older plants shuttered immediately.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, however, provided another plot twist.
Fearful of its energy security without Russian gas, the German government delayed its plan to close the final three plants in December 2022. Some urged a rethink.
But the government declined, agreeing to keep them running only until April 15, 2023.
Tumblr media
For those in the anti-nuclear movement, it’s a moment of victory.
“It is a great achievement for millions of people who have been protesting nuclear in Germany and worldwide for decades,” Paul-Marie Manière, a spokesperson for Greenpeace, told CNN.
A Polarizing Energy
For critics of Germany’s policy, however, it’s irrational to turn off a low-carbon source of energy as the impacts of the climate crisis intensify.
“We need to keep existing, safe nuclear reactors operating while simultaneously ramping up renewables as fast as possible,” Leah Stokes, a professor of climate and energy policy at the University of California, Santa Barbara, told CNN.
The big risk, she said, is that fossil fuels fill the energy gap left by nuclear. Reductions in Germany’s nuclear energy since Fukushima have been primarily offset by increases in coal, according to research published last year.
Germany plans to replace the roughly 6% of electricity generated by the three nuclear plants with renewables, but also gas and coal.
More than 30% of Germany’s energy comes from coal, the dirtiest of the fossil fuels – and the government has made controversial decisions to turn to coal to help with energy security.
In January, protestors including Greta Thunberg converged on the west German village of Lützerath in an unsuccessful attempt to stop it being demolished to mine the coal underneath it.
“Building new coal capacity is the opposite of what we need,” said Stokes. Fossil fuels are a climate problem, but they’re also a health risk, she pointed out. Air pollution from fossil fuels is responsible for 8.7 million deaths a year, according to a recent analysis.
Veronika Grimm, one of Germany’s leading economists, told CNN that keeping nuclear power plants running for longer would have allowed Germany more time “to electrify extensively,” especially as renewable energy growth “remains sluggish.”
Tumblr media

But supporters of the nuclear shutdown argue it will ultimately hasten the end of fossil fuels.
Germany has pledged to close its last coal-fired power station no later than 2038, with a 2030 deadline in some areas. It’s aiming for 80% of electricity to come from renewables by the end of this decade.
While more coal was added in the months following Fukushima, Schreurs said, nuclear shutdowns have seen a big push on clean energy. “That urgency and demand can be what it takes to push forward on the growth of renewables,” she said.
Representatives for Germany’s renewable energy industry said the shutdown will open the door for more investment into clean energy.
“Germany’s phase-out of nuclear power is a historic event and an overdue step in energy terms,” Simone Peter, president of the German Renewable Energy Federation (BEE), told CNN. “It is high time that we leave the nuclear age behind and consistently organize the renewable age.”
The impacts of nuclear power shouldn’t be overlooked either, Schreurs said, pointing to the carbon pollution created by uranium mining as well as the risk of health complications for miners. Plus, it creates a dependency on Russia, which supplies uranium for nuclear plants, she added.
Nuclear has also shown itself to have vulnerabilities to the climate crisis. France was forced to reduce nuclear power generation last year as the rivers used to cool reactors became too hot during Europe’s blistering heatwave.
A Million-Year Problem
Tumblr media

Now Germany must work out what do with the deadly, high-level radioactive waste, which can remain dangerous for hundreds of thousands of years.
Currently, the nuclear waste is kept in interim storage next to the nuclear plants being decommissioned. But the search is on to find a permanent location where the waste can be stored safely for a million years.
The site needs to be deep – hundreds of meters underground. Only certain types of rock will do: Crystalline granite, rock salt or clay rock. It must be geologically stable with no risks of earthquakes or signs of underground rivers.
The process is likely to be fraught, complex and breathtakingly long – potentially lasting more than 100 years.
BGE, the Federal Company for Radioactive Waste Disposal, estimates a final site won’t be chosen until between 2046 and 2064. After that, it will take decades more to build the repository, fill it with the waste and seal it.
Tumblr media
What Are Other Countries Doing?
Plenty of other countries are treading paths similar to Germany’s. Denmark passed a resolution in the 1980s not to construct nuclear power plants, Switzerland voted in 2017 to phase out nuclear power, Italy closed its last reactors in 1990 and Austria’s one nuclear plant has never been used.
But, in the context of the war in Ukraine, soaring energy prices and pressure to reduce carbon pollution, others still want nuclear in the mix.
The UK, in the process of building a nuclear power plant, said in its recent climate strategy that energy nuclear power has a “crucial” role in “creating secure, affordable and clean energy.”
France, which gets about 70% of its power from nuclear, is planning six new reactors, and Finland opened a new nuclear plant last year. Even Japan, still dealing with the aftermath of Fukushima, is considering restarting reactors.
Tumblr media

The US, the world’s biggest nuclear power, is also investing in nuclear energy and, in March, started up a new nuclear reactor, Vogtle 3 in Georgia – the first in years.
But experts suggest this doesn’t mark the start of a nuclear ramp up. Vogtle 3 came online six years late and at a cost of $30 billion, twice the initial budget.
It encapsulates the big problem that afflicts the whole nuclear industry: making the economics add up. New plants are expensive and can take more than a decade to build. “Even the countries that are talking pro-nuclear are having big trouble developing nuclear power,” Schreurs said.
Many nuclear power plants in Europe, the US and elsewhere are aging – plants have an operating life of around 40 to 60 years. As Germany puts an end to its nuclear era, it’s coming up to crunch time for others, Schreurs said.
“There will be a moment of decision as to whether nuclear really has a future”
— CNN’s Chris Stern contributed reporting.

Aufruf zu einem „Anti-Atom-Frühling“ 2023
Atomausstieg jetzt!
Eigentlich hätte die Atomkraft in Deutschland an Silvester Geschichte sein sollen. Doch statt die letzten drei AKW Neckarwestheim 2, Emsland und Isar 2 wie geplant am 31.12.2022 abzuschalten, dürfen sie noch bis zum 15. April 2023 im sogenannten Streckbetrieb weiterlaufen.
Namhafte Politiker*innen von FDP, CDU und CSU aber fordern bereits weitere, langfristige Laufzeitverlängerungen. Sie wollen den Atomausstieg doch noch kippen. Dagegen werden wir mit aller Kraft protestieren. Wir rufen einen heißen Anti-Atom-Frühling aus, um den gesellschaftlichen Druck gegen längere AKW-Laufzeiten zu erhöhen. Spätestens am 15. April muss endlich Schluss sein mit der Atomkraft in Deutschland!
Der Winter hat klar gezeigt, dass die drei AKW für unsere Stromversorgung auch in Krisenzeiten nicht benötigt werden. Gutachten im Auftrag der Bundesregierung belegen, dass Deutschland auch in Zukunft seine Versorgungssicherheit ohne AKW und bei schnellem Kohleausstieg gewährleisten kann.
Es ist höchste Zeit, das Atom-Risiko endlich zu beenden: Die deutschen AKW sind nicht sicher. In allen drei Reaktoren gibt es Risse oder den Verdacht auf Risse an wichtigen Rohren. Seit Jahren fehlt es an nötigen Investitionen. Eine umfassende Sicherheitsüberprüfung fand zuletzt 2009 nach den Regeln der frühen achtziger Jahre statt.
Die Reaktorkatastrophe von Fukushima am 11.3.2011 hat uns die verheerenden Folgen eines großen AKW-Unfall vor Augen geführt. Mit großer Mehrheit beschloss der Bundestag angesichts dieses schrecklichen Ereignisses damals den Atomausstieg 2022.
Heute wollen sich daran viele nicht erinnern oder von ihrem politischen Versagen an anderer Stelle ablenken. Die FDP verweigert Klimaschutzmaßnahmen im Verkehrssektor und die CSU blockiert noch immer den Ausbau der Windenergie in Bayern.
Wir wollen eine sichere und klimaverträgliche Stromversorgung aus 100 Prozent erneuerbaren Energien. Zu einem Erneuerbaren-Stromsystem passen AKW genau so wenig wie Kohlekraftwerke.
Wir werden deshalb in ganz Deutschland am 11. März, dem Jahrestag der Reaktorkatastrophe von Fukushima, auf Straßen, Plätzen und vor Parteizentralen präsent sein und am 15. April, dem vom Bundeskanzler ausgerufenen Abschaltdatum, im Emsland, am AKW Neckarwestheim und in München mit vielen Menschen auf die Straße gehen.
Unser Signal: Atomausstieg jetzt! https://www.anti-atom-fruehling.de/aufruf/

„Meine Partei lehnt Atomkraft ab“
Der Bundestag hat am Freitag, 11. November 2022, die Laufzeiten für die letzten drei aktiven Atomkraftwerke in Deutschland – Emsland, Isar 2 und Neckarwestheim 2 – um dreieinhalb Monate bis zum 15. April 2023 verlängert.
Die Fraktion DIE LINKE stimmte gegen den Antrag der Regierungskoalition.
"Punkt für Punkt zählte Ralph Lenkert (Die Linke) die Nachteile der Atomkraft auf. Diese sei zuallererst ein Risiko: Menschliches Versagen, Materialverschleiß – die Technik sei nicht vollends beherrschbar, argumentierte der Abgeordnete.
Mit dem Ukrainekrieg drohe nun auch noch die Gefahr eines atomaren Super-GAU. Zudem sei die weitere Nutzung teuer, umwelt- und gesundheitsschädlich und nicht mehr zu versichern. Sie zementiere überdies die Abhängigkeit von russischem und kasachischem Uran und produziere weiter giftigen Atommüll, für den es kein Endlager gebe. Um den Strompreis zu senken, brauche es Atomkraftwerke aber gar nicht. Für hohe Preise seien vor allem „falsche Marktregeln und Spekulation“ verantwortlich, daher brauche es Regeln im Stromsystem, forderte Lenkert."
