Germany hasn't, unfortunately (it decided in 2011, shortly after Fukushima, to decommission all its nuclear power by 2022).

- m4rtink 5y agoBut wasn't the German nuclear situation a mess to begin with ? Looking at the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_power_stations_in_Germany#Nuclear https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_power_stations_in_Germ... It's a whole bunch of dissimilar designs - maintaining all that must have been nightmare. In comparison here in Czech Republic & in Slovakia we have a bunch of upgraded VVERs and that's it, providing a good chunk of our electricity with reasonable commonality. But hey, it could be worse than in Germany! You can build a complete nuclear power plant with all the expense it entails and then newer run it! ;-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwentendorf_Nuclear_Power_Plant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwentendorf_Nuclear_Power_Plan...
