Germany shuts down next nuclear plant
Energytransition.org
On 31 December, Germany will close the Gundremmingen B nuclear reactor in Bavaria, leaving the country with seven reactors to be shut down by the scheduled end-2022 nuclear exit, writes Craig Morris in an article for Energytransition.org. Morris retraces the history of the reactor and writes about its role in a recent record ramp-down of Germany’s nuclear fleet during a wind storm in October 2017.
