Gas crisis spurs Germany to mull extending life of nuclear plants | Reuters

By Thomas A. Smith

BERLIN, July 18 (Reuters) – Germany may extend the life of its three remaining nuclear power plants, the economy ministry said on Monday, as public support rises in the face of a possible cut-off of Russian gas.

Germany’s remaining nuclear plants are scheduled to be shut down by year-end after former Chancellor Angela Merkel pledged to phase out nuclear power following the meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan in 2011.
