In Germany, commercial power generation from nuclear power will definitively come to an end on April 15. The last reactors in Isar 2, Neckarwestheim 2 and Emsland will be shut down. In other EU countries, however, energy from nuclear fission is considered a low-carbon energy source for combating the climate crisis. And the entire EU continues to invest in fusion technology, which, however, will not contribute to decarbonization by 2050.
