CSU regional group head Alexander Dobrindt calls for new fuel rods for nuclear power plants. He fundamentally questions nuclear repositories.
CSU regional group chief Alexander Dobrindt considers a nuclear waste repository in Germany to be dispensable under certain circumstances. “A repository must not be the only conceivable solution,” he said in an interview with our editors. “Recycling of nuclear fuel rods can be a solution, so it must be more about long-term interim storage in order to keep the valuable fuel rods technologically usable for future energy production.”
It is not mandatory that fuel rods “are senselessly buried in the ground for hundreds of millions of years”. One can assume that technological possibilities would be developed with spent ones fuel rods to work. “All over the world there is an interest in further developing the fuel rod as a raw material. This requires in-depth research and not an exit for ideological reasons.”
Nuclear power: Dobrindt wants to reverse the nuclear phase-out after the federal election
Dobrindt announced that after a victory for the Union in the next Bundestag elections nuclear phase-out to undo. “The lifetime of nuclear energy must be extended. This requires a moratorium on the decommissioning of nuclear power plants and a new order for fuel rods. In addition, the employees must be kept in the power plants. That way we can put nuclear power in a real reserve position,” he said .
The decision of the traffic light, the last nuclear power plants Switching off is a serious mistake that could take bitter revenge. “The Greens have shown that they are still the old anti-nuclear sect and are unwilling to take off their ideological blinders,” said Dobrindt.
Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Greens) now even has them research grants for nuclear energy issues deleted. “In doing so, he not only wipes Germany off the world map for future technologies such as nuclear fusion, but also deletes Germany’s contribution to future security issues relating to nuclear technologies,” criticized Dobrindt. “German technology has made a major contribution here.”
Dobrindt: Bavaria can operate Isar 2 on its own
Dobrindt defended the position of the Bavarian state governmentto continue to operate the shut down nuclear power plant Isar II independently. “The demand is understandable and absolutely correct. There are a number of countries in Europe that are significantly smaller than the Free State of Bavaria and operate nuclear energy,” he said. “Of course, Bavaria can take on this task. The federal government would be well advised to accept the offer of the Free State and change the Atomic Energy Act.”
