BREAKING: We find that Germany can restart 3 nuclear reactors by 2028 and 9 reactors by 2032. The engineering and economics work. Two-thirds of the public want it. Only political will is needed. Here are four detailed graphics from our new report that summarize the facts.

Germany's nuclear reactors and plants sorted broadly from fast and cheap to restart, to costly and slow to restart, with their main systems and structures listed as icons indicating readiness levels based on already-completed decomissioning work. All listed reactors could be restarted faster and cheaper than new build. https://www.radiantenergygroup.com/reports/restarting-germanys-reactors-feasibility-and-schedule

Nevertheless, investing in new types of mini-nuclear power plants that are safer, modular and have more output would be a more suitable option for the future.

It would already be a good start it Germany would not block but support other EU countries from maintaining and ramping up nuclear. (Through EU regulation, financing and long-term energy contracts).

They have to change or modify the "13th law for the amendment of the "Atomgesetz". Do you think they manage to do that? The was specifically established to prohibit reactivation of any sorts of nuclear energy production.

Germany is building up solar and wind in high capacity and doesn’t need outdated or scrapped nuclear reactors anymore

Not even CDU is persuing this in earnest. They have a few half-hearted statements about SMR in the future, but thats about it. Its quite depressing really. With all the obvious energy problems right now, the level of debate is surprisingly terrible. Its not looking good..

Germany also still "can" build pyramids. It would make just as much sense.

Two top reactor sites are in Lower Saxony and Schleswig Holstein, locations where there is the most electricity in the entire country. Lower Saxony already had 108% supply from renewables in 2023. More electricity in the north makes no sense. In South is electricity missing.

They could. But they are doing scorched earth policy again, same as [warning: Nazi card] Hitler ordered in 1945. They realize they've lost [trying to sell their view to the world], but they'd rather destroy their property than live under the humiliation of admitting being wrong.

Germans are going to get buttfucked if they keep voting for socialist greens. Watch as Volkswagen will close ALL it's plants in Germany and move to Poland. People are so fucking clueless. The Germany economy is about to implode

This chart is missing the human resource factor. Without trained personnel you are running nothing. These people are gone - and they will not return.

Maybe it would probably be possible technically. Yet, it would be expensive and senseless - in my opinion and experts and the companies who were running the nuclear reactors agree.

This ONE reactor means 3 million homes will have clean, reliable power for 60 years or more. It was fantastic to see the first unit at Hinkley Point C which was installed in the past few days. ✍️Sign to lift Australia’s nuclear ban: nuclearforaustralia.com

Japan will today restart a reactor that was shut for 13 years 🇯🇵 ☢️ ⚡️ Shimane No 2 will resume this afternoon ⚠️ This is the 14th reactor to restart under post-Fukushima safety rules. But most operable units still shut 👉 Japan aims to use nuclear to curb fossil fuel imports

So funny story. I have been looking at this truck online for a few days. Getting gas in town and he pulls in next to me. I said hey been looking at your truck .. would you like to talk ? He said sure let me fill up. Ok, so checking out truck its a beauty well maintained. I said
