It's using China's construction times (7-8 years) as the time of reference for the first new nuclear power plant (studies + construction).
That's unrealistic, i think that it would required, at least, from 10-20 years and extreme policial violence.
I mean Germany could just ask China to build reactors for them. The problems are entirely political.
I agree that there is a political problem. But there is also a problem with the document. I suspect that the building time in China does not take into account the time of the previous studies to select the location and after, or the participatory process of the local party or other political entities. The reasonable approach should have been to use the full timeframe of nuclear power plants (find a building emplacement, studies, 'popular' participation + building) in other countries with similar laws (European Union, UK, etc.). Maybe he wanted to push a pronuclear narrative?
That's fair, there would likely be a lot more challenges around this within the scope of the political system in Germany that would lead to longer timelines. I do think it's interesting to see how quickly this sort of stuff could be done in principle though. Given that we are already in a climate crisis, I find it depressing that we're still playing political games with these sort of issues.
A community discussing nuclear power, including fission and fusion. The goal is to talk about generated nuclear power, so avoid simply talking about stars or something unless it is relevant.
