In 2021, the Grohnde nuclear power plant in Lower Saxony on the Weser River was shut down. Now, immediately next to it, the Emmerthal energy cluster is growing with three very large battery storage systems, ground-mounted photovoltaic systems, and a new substation for several 380-kilovolt high-voltage lines.
Half a century is barely getting on in nuclear power terms… Were German plants especially poorly built?
Do Germans actually care about reactor safty instead of burying their head in the sand like other nations with super old nuclear power plants like to do?
