You can do a lot of other stupid things, for example consider it EOL after very short time, like 40 years and close it though.

Nuclear power is just too expensive. Look at France - the have 80% or so nuclear and all of their power companies run at a loss and have to be subsidized. Meanwhile in Germany wind and solar make a pretty good complement and are cheaper, even with storage included, which is mostly provided by Switzerland and Austria.

It's just not worth the hassle.
