Hmm. Here in Central Europe this would probably read:

"However the events unfold we can rest reassured that scientists have to acknowledge that any use of nuclear technology for electrical power generation is inherently unsafe and therefore irresponsible."

And then we build a new coal power plant.

[ugh]

Not even probably. In Germany, opposition parties already (and once again) demanded of the government to rethink their nuclear strategy. (No new nuclear power plants are built or planned in Germany but the coalition government recently extended the runtime of existing nuclear power plants.)

I'm a bit annoyed that the only two options in Germany seem to be to either shut all nuclear power plants down or to extend the runtime of the already existing and rather old nuclear power plants. It seems to me that it is possible to have safer nuclear power but no political party in Germany seems to be willing to even talk about that.

It is worth mentioning that France is still big on nuclear and we will likely be buying French power from nuclear plants.
