The end of nuclear power in Germany

Saturday, 15.04.23, it's the end of nuclear power in Germany. The last nuclear power plants are shut down after electricity was fed into the power grid for the first time over 60 years ago from the Kahl am Main experimental power plant. It is a big day for the anti-nuclear movement. In an interview, long-time activist, historian and journalist Armin Simon shares his thoughts on this historic moment.
