How about not phasing it out at all.

> The fallout from Tschernobyl was measurable in Germany… measurable as in my science teacher measured it in his garden

Yeah you can also measure the output form coal plants.

Tschernobyl killed either literally or basically nobody in German, and hardly hurt anybody.

It was basically nonsense, because of political reasons rules were adopted based on totally fraudulent science and then these rules were used in endless scare mongering campaigns and misinformation campaigns.

But at some point you have to stop with pure emotional responses and endless fear-mongering and actually look at things rationally.
