German Times Online reported that the plant said the power plant can continue to operate until the planned end of operation on December 31. However, operator PreussenElektra has informed that proposed backup generation operations beyond this date would require repairs as early as October, with the kilns being shut down for a week. "Like the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Federal Ministry of the Environment is studying the new situation and its implications for the design and implementation of the reserve reserve," a
spokesman said. According to the plans of Federal Economics Minister Robert Habeck , still Two of the three operating plants will remain until mid-April. In 2011, the nuclear phase-out decision ended on December 31, 2022. So far, the operator has indicated that the system will operate at almost full capacity until the end of the year, the ministry said. TÜV-Süd and several politicians from CDU, CSU and FDP have repeatedly stated that Isar II is safe and therefore can and must be allowed to generate electricity after the end of the year.
In the past, critics of extended life have mentioned the risks of continuing to run. Built in 1988, the Isar II failed the safety checks required every decade during its nuclear phase-out.
