    You said:

    We shut down reactors of which no one knows how functional they are because no one checked that because they were scheduled to be shut down anyways.

    If they weren’t scheduled to be shut down in the first place people would have known they worked.

      Or they would have known that they don’t work. Thats the thing. It is very much possible that further operation of these reactores would have been economically insensible. Maybe the repairs would have been so expensive and timeintensive that it would be easier to build new ones. The point is noone knows.

      We can argue all day if what the CDU decided together with the owners of the plants was a good decision or a bad one. Nothing productive for the discussion around renewable energy will come out of that discussion. The plants are closed and they wont be able to get up and running in the forseeable future.
