Liability and insurance of nuclear power plants - Who bears the risk? How is a nuclear power plant actually insured? What happens in the event of damage? And who is really liable - operators, suppliers or nobody at all? In this online lecture, we take an exciting look behind the scenes of the liability and insurance mechanisms of nuclear plants. Find out how Read more
Online lecture on "Dismantling the Stade nuclear power plant" on 12 June 2025 | 17:30 - 19:00 The Stade nuclear power plant (KKS) of PreussenElektra was built from 1968 to 1972 and was successfully in operation from 1972 to 2003. It has been dismantled since 2005 and the final demolition work is scheduled for the end of 2026. Read more
Benefits of nuclear energy in the German energy transition Nuclear energy is far too expensive and would in any case come too late to make an effective contribution to the German energy transition, which aims to achieve climate neutrality in Germany by 2045. If there is no recognisable benefit, then it would of course be irresponsible to even consider the Read more
