Nuclear power opponents via traffic light coalition:
"The Greens must act now"
The nuclear phase-out has not yet been secured, and uranium enrichment in Germany can also be ended, says nuclear power opponent Eickhoff.
taz: Mr. Eickhoff, in the Ampel coalition agreement, the SPD, Greens and FDP promise to “secure the nuclear phase-out”. Is the anti-nuclear movement satisfied with that?
Matthew Eickhoff: No. Many questions remain unanswered. There are huge gaps in the nuclear phase-out law that was passed after the Fukushima nuclear disaster. The uranium enrichment plant in Gronau, the fuel element factory in Lingen and the research reactor in Garching still have unlimited operating licenses. We demand from the new federal government: These nuclear plants must be shut down as quickly as possible.
Why?
The UAA Gronau supplies every tenth nuclear reactor worldwide with uranium fuel. According to previous planning, this should continue after the end of 2022, when the last German nuclear power plants are shut down. Every year around 5.000 tons of nuclear waste are generated in Gronau, which is disposed of cheaply in Russia. The barrels with radioactive waste from Gronau are rusting in the open air in the Urals ...

Nuclear phase-out in Germany
Moratorium and exit decision
In spring 2011 the last decade of the use of atomic energy was heralded in Germany. After Chancellor Angela Merkel had agreed an extension of the service life of German nuclear power plants with the energy companies on September 5, 2010, the Fukushima disaster of March 11, 2011 led to a U-turn in energy policy.
On March 14th, the federal government decided on a moratorium for three months. Seven older reactors, which were supposed to be subjected to a "comprehensive safety review", were taken off the grid: Biblis A and B, Brunsbüttel, Isar 1, Neckarwestheim I, Philippsburg I, Unterweser.
Since nuclear power had lost support in the majority of the population and in all political forces, the black and yellow federal government decided on May 30, 2011 to take all nuclear power plants off the grid by 2022. The decision to withdraw and to amend the Atomic Energy Act was formally passed on June 6th by the cabinet and justified by Angela Merkel in the government declaration of June 9th.
On June 30, 2011, the nuclear phase-out was decided by a clear majority in the Bundestag and confirmed by the Bundesrat on July 8, 2011. On August 1, 2011, the law was finally signed by the former Federal President Christian Wulff ...

Wikipedia
Nuclear phase-out
The political decision of a state to discontinue the operation of nuclear power plants and to forego nuclear energy for electricity generation is referred to as nuclear phase-out, also nuclear power phase-out or nuclear waiver. Italy has so far completely phased out the generation of atomic energy, while other countries such as Germany, Belgium and Switzerland have announced or initiated a nuclear phase-out. Austria did not put its completed Zwentendorf nuclear power plant into operation as early as 1978 after a referendum, and other countries canceled some of the nuclear programs that were well advanced.
The nuclear phase-out is an important part of the energy transition; However, this is much broader and provides for the complete conversion to renewable energies as well as the complete abandonment of conventional energy sources (nuclear fuels and fossil fuels) in the long term ...
