OREANDA-NEWS  In Germany, there are currently three functioning NPPs, planned to be shut down on December 31.According to the minister, a discussion "without ideological elements" is needed for the NPPs that are still in operation.

Germany intensified the debate about the possibility of extending the use of NPPs against the background of the ongoing gas crisis. Currently, the authorities are conducting a technical analysis of the situation, which will be followed by a final decision.

Earlier this month, the German government, as part of the fight against the energy crisis and plans to abandon Russian gas, adopted a law allowing the restoration of coal-fired power plants mothballed for climate protection reasons.
