Since then, it has been dismantled, the goal is the “green meadow”. Nevertheless, this is extremely difficult, as new delays show: as was originally planned in 2028, the work will be completed only in the 2040s, as confirmed by the managing director of the responsible federal plant for nuclear systems (EWN). “In addition, in recent years there has been a significant increase in costs as a result of the pandemic of the crown and secretary of Ukraine, which influenced our financial and planning,” the speaker continued.
This will require dismantling more than four times until they reacted. The reason for this is a stronger radioactive pollution than was originally assumed. In addition, Bund 2022 (EWN) reduced funds. 80 employees were supposed to be released. Instead of the planned 6.6 billion euros, 10 billion are currently expected.
Delays and, therefore, an increase in costs, such as Lubmin, are not an isolated case. The Obrigheim nuclear power plant on Neckar, which was taken from the network in 2005, is initially assumed that the next year was dismantled, it is now said that the work can be completed in the early 2030s.
In Schleswig-Holstein, servers became a problem
“The biggest problem is logistics,” explains Jorg Mikels, the managing director of ENBW Kernkraftwerke GmbH. Elimination of systems, their deactivation and disposal, which have already been made by corporations in the service.
“However, there are much more masses during dismantling,” he said SWR. Obryegeim estimates that 275,000 tons of material were carried.
Schleswig-Holstein checks the reliability of a specialized headquarters. The reason for which there is a break on the server, as a small request from the FDP showed: since April 2024, 824 applications were made by the operators of the Brunsbüttel, Krümmel and Brokdorf nuclear power plants, and only 17 were resolved.
“The delays have occurred since the server failure, since the secure communication path was no longer available with the requested authorities,” the Ministry of Energy explains. At the same time, the problem was solved, but the failure guarantees disappointment at power plants: without employees: no dismantling inside.
Abd of an unresolved operator
In West German places, nuclear power plants should cost for dismantling costs, they had to make appropriate provisions. In the eastern German places, Labmin and Reinsberg are all different: here the dismantling is funded by tax money.
In addition, there are political endless ones: at the end of May, AFD filed an application for a moratorium on dismantling nuclear energy in the Bundestag, which describes a stop as an “energy and economic error” and requires a stop stop.
“The elimination of nuclear power plants initiated immediately after the closure is to create complete facts through energy supply in Germany,” the reason says. The application was submitted to the Ecological Committee of the Bundestag, which does not increase the safety of planning in work.
