According to Reuters, Germany will close its last three nuclear power plants on the 15th local time, which also means that Germany is about to completely phase out nuclear power. According to the report, these three nuclear power plants are the Isal 2 nuclear power plant located in Bavaria, the Nekawestheim 2 nuclear power plant north of Stuttgart, and the Emsland nuclear power plant in Saxony, which are scheduled to be permanently closed before midnight local time on the 15th. In 2011, after the radiation leakage accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan, the government led by then German Chancellor Merkel formulated a nuclear power exit plan due to safety risk concerns, preparing to gradually shut down all 17 nuclear power plants in the country.
