That's not even true, it was Merkel's administration. Under Schröder, the plan for the phase-out was formulated and set in motion, only to be stopped and then restarted by Merkel.
The modern anti-nuclear movement in Germany got started in the 1970's by the TMI accident and a book named "Der Atom-Staat". Chornobyl of course put the nails into the coffin.

Nope, that is actually not true. > Under Schröder, the plan for the phase-out was formulated and set in motion, It wasn't just "formulated" it was passed into law in 2002 by the red-green coalition led by Schröder. It was never stopped/rescinded. https://www.bundestag.de/webarchiv/textarchiv/2012/38640342_kw16_kalender_atomaustieg-208324 https://www.bundestag.de/webarchiv/textarchiv/2012/38640342_... > only to be stopped and then restarted by Merkel. That is also not the case. Merkel never actually stopped the phase-out, her administration just extended the running times. The phase-out always remained in place, and for example to prohibition against building new nuclear plants was never touched. So no.
