Ah so it's pure phobia. Interesting.

So you checked all reasons and concluded that's it?

What studies did you consult?

And even if it's 'only' phobia wouldn't it also be a problem of politics and education then?

And while I don't necessarily against nuclear, I do really believe that every investment in nuclear would be much more beneficial towards wind, solar, geo, power lines and energy storage.

Why?

Makes people more independent and therefore the country better equipped for catastrophies. It creates synergies with all other energy storage problems like ev's, laptops and smartphones.

It makes people more energy aware.

The investment will push prices down for everyone including 3th world countries.

Less risk for dirty bomb material.

No long term storage problem.

Less dependencies to other countries because Uran etc doesn't exist everywhere while the other materials are much easier to get globally.

Also castor Transports are super expensive and the whole supply chain too due to terrorism risk and health risk.

I also have worked with plenty of people in my life, the assumption that people are always able to handle dangerous materials which are not visible harmful feels stupid.

Since science has clearly found nuclear to be one of the safest energy sources possible, it is phobia. Literally no German has ever died from one of its own nuclear reactor.

None of those issues are as big as the challenges of climate change. Nuclear waste can be buried or reprocessed, supply chain problems are much smaller than dependency on Russia oil & gas, and Germany is much more at risk from Russia aggression than the very remote chance that anything they do with nuclear could be turned into a weapon against them.
