Trotz der Zwischenlagerung von zwei Kernkraftwerken sollen alle drei Kernkraftwerke in Deutschland Ende 2022 stillgelegt werden, so Hambeck weiter. “Wir bestehen auf dem im Atomgesetz geregelten Ausstieg aus der Kernenergie.” „Es werden keine neuen Brennstoffzellen geladen und Mitte April 2023 wird auch der Vorrat aufgebraucht sein.“ Atomkraft bleibt eine Hochrisikotechnologie. “Und der hochradioaktive Abfall wird Dutzende von Generationen belasten.
