Abstract

The article reports on the shutdown of nuclear power plant in Grafenrheinfeld, Germany in June 2015 following the order of Chancellor Angela Merkel in relation to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant disaster in Japan. The move also reflects Germany's push to establish a nuclear-free energy system by 2022 and to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. It notes that the plant has already been replaced alternative energy sources like solar and wind power.
