Germany to Explore Nuclear Storage Site Under New Government After 10-Year Hiatus

摘要

Germany will reopen exploration of a site in the country's northeast designated for radioactive waste storage, ending a 10-year moratorium, Environment Minister Norbert Roettgen said March 15. "The question of final storage of nuclear waste is unresolved until today, 40 years after we started to use nuclear power. Apart from how you view the use of nuclear energy, decisionmakers in politics and society can't get around this question," Roettgen said in a prepared statement.
