Reporting

In Europe, eight countries are building or planning new nuclear power plants, while four countries are scaling down their nuclear facilities, including Germany. On the plus side, nuclear power provides reliable, cheap energy without CO2 emissions; on the negative side, waste disposal, radiation and the risk of terrorism are complicating factors. How is the nuclear energy capacity to be replaced if the utilization of this energy is scaled down because of a lack of acceptance? In the absence of alternatives, the prolonged use of existing plants can probably be expected. The final storage of nuclear waste remains the main (political) problem in the perception of society. In the long term, nuclear fusion remains a vision.
