Planning to buy a second home in Germany ? Germany has 11 nuclear power plants. Search in Google maps for German nuclear power reactors within a radius of 50, 100, 150, 200 or 250 kilometers of a given location. Click on the marker for a pop-up with the name, address and Wikipedia url of the power plant.
On 30 June 2011, Germany as the first major industrial nation decided to phase out nuclear power by the year 2022. The amendment to the Atomic Energy Act was a direct result of Fukushima disaster and the following safety review of German nuclear power plants. The phasing out was unanimously decided by CDU/CSU (Christian Democratic Parties), SPD (Social Democratic Party of Germany), FDP (Free Democratic Party) and Alliance '90/The Greens (the green political party).
The nuclear power plants, which had already been shut down during the moratorium, were disconnected from the electricity network. The closure of the remaining nuclear power plants will be regulated by the Atomic Energy Act. Isar 2, Emsland and Neckarwestheim are the last 3 nuclear power plants that will be shut down forever in 2022.
To ensure security of supply, the Federal Network Agency got permission to establish one of the seven oldest power plants as a reserve, but only for a maximum of two years.
