Says plan to put plant in reserve in case of emergency is 'technically unfeasible'The operator of a German nuclear power plant, PreussenElektra, rejected the government’s plan to send its plant into reserve operation in case of an energy emergency because it considers the proposal to be technically unfeasible, German media outlet BR24 reported.
PreussenElektra, the operator of Essenbach’s Isar 2 plant, declared in a letter to the German government that Economy Minister Robert Habeck’s Monday proposal to close two nuclear reactors at the end of 2022 while keeping them ready to go online at a moment’s notice to address future electricity shortages was “technically unfeasible,” according to BR24. The operator said that the proposal to quickly restart the nuclear plants to address an energy emergency after shutting them down could be unsafe.
The operator, which is a subsidiary of the German utility company E.ON, also told the Economy Ministry on Tuesday that the state’s national electrical grid stress test determined that the power generated by the three remaining nuclear plants is necessary to help the nation get through winter. Germany is working to stockpile and save fuel to prevent winter shortages as Russia continues to shut off natural gas flows through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, blaming Western sanctions for halted gas deliveries.
