GERMANY - Seven nuclear reactors shut down

March 15, Chancellor Angela Merkel announced the permanent closure of a reactor plant Neckarwestheim in Baden-Wuerttemberg. Commissioned in 1976, he was the oldest nuclear reactor in the country. Six more reactors, among the oldest in operation, will be closed for three months, the time to conduct a "security control".

Faced with the nuclear disaster that struck Japan, Berlin announced March 14 a moratorium on its decision to extend the life of some plants.
