Söder vs. Operator: Isar 2 is finally closed!

Landshut, Deutschland - A storm of outrage unfolds in Bavaria! Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) has caused excitement with his recent statements on the restart of the Isar 2 nuclear power plant. But the operator Preussen Elektra vehemently counters: the return to nuclear power is excluded!

In a clear announcement, a spokeswoman for the company said that the restarting of the disused nuclear power plant could no longer be feasible. Instead, you focus on the rapid dismantling of the two power plant blocks. "There is no back for us: For us, the topic of recovery is definitely off the table," said Managing Director Guido Knott. These words are a clear slap in the face of political rhetoric, which discusses a return to nuclear energy.

söder's demand and the reality of the dismantling

The debate about nuclear power has received a surprising demand for a stopping the dismantling at Isar 2 new momentum. "It is still reversible. It is still. It is not irreversible," he emphasized. But reality looks different: numerous systems, including all four main coolant pumps, have been permanently removed and dismantled. The dismantling should be completed by 2040.

An internal Ministry of the Environment, which Söder calls on, says that the decommissioning and dismantling are theoretically reversible, but a decisive prerequisite remains unmentioned: A change in the Federal Nuclear Act would be necessary to enable re -operation. Preussen Elektra remains not to comment on political discussions. "We are not dealing with theoretical questions of continued operation of Isar 2," said the spokeswoman.
