No, that is not true. Maintenance was done with the respect to the planned life time. They couldn't just have kept running. That the previous government didn't knew about the Russian war onto Ukraine makes no difference. Gas prices have recovered to pre-war levels, so there is no extra need for the nuclear plants compared to before the war.
- JanSt 3y agoThis is simple not true. https://www.berliner-zeitung.de/politik-gesellschaft/politik-steffi-lemke-gruene-akw-kernkraft-offener-brief-zur-atomkraft-sicherheitsexperten-der-regierung-widersprechen-umweltministerin-li.263141 https://www.berliner-zeitung.de/politik-gesellschaft/politik... You still pay teice the price for gas as before because we had 30yr low costs (below spot) contracts with Gazprom.
- _ph_ 3y agoThe article is about shutting down the reactors at the 31.12.22. As you know, they were not shut down at that date but ran some months more. That doesn't say anything about the long term maintenance requirements. And in any case they would have to be inspected before any further decisions to be taken as the article only states "they might be able to run further". But that was only an opinion, not a result of a inspection.
