Citizens' Initiative Weiden-Neustadt: Objection to new nuclear power plant
The resistance to atomic energy generation beats high waves, and the citizens' initiative (BI) against atomic plants in Weiden-Neustadt organizes on 18. June 2025 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. an information meeting. The event location is the Kunstverein/Neue Linda at Ledererstraße 6. This meeting is aimed at members of the initiative and to all interested parties to inform about the planned developments in North Bohemian Tušimice, which is only 100 km away. Furthermore, an exchange about the general dismay in the northern Upper Palatinate is sought.
Comprehensive discussions on options for action are planned within the framework of the cross -border participation of the population. The participants also have the chance to work on a draft of a generally and individually customizable sample position. This is done in accordance with the publications of the Bavarian State Ministry for the Environment and Consumer Protection (STMUV) that provide information on the participation conditions and the objection period. Interested parties can visit the BI website for further details: www.biwaanaa.de .Current developments in nuclear energy
The construction of new nuclear power plants is a hotly discussed topic in Europe. One example is the planned SizeWell C nuclear power plant in Great Britain. Here are two pressurized water reactors with a total output of around 3,340 megawatts, which should have a term of 60 years. The British government has started a cross -border environmental impact assessment (RRP) in order to include neighboring states, including Germany, in the talks. After all, Germany is the contracting state of the Espoo Convention, which promotes public participation in cross-border environmental issues, such as Schleswig-holstein.de
In the European Union, nuclear energy is viewed as a low-CO2 alternative to fossil fuels and currently delivers almost 26 % of the electricity . However, the debate about the security of nuclear power plants has gained intensity since the disasters in Chernobyl and Fukushima. European legal provisions on security and dealing with radioactive waste are therefore a central part of energy policy. Directive 2013/59/Euratom defines basic safety standards and also promotes the safe disposal of burned fuel elements. These developments in the EU are pursued by the EU Commission, as Europarl.europa.eu
at the same time from 30. May to July 3, 2025 an accompanying exhibition entitled "Solarpunks" in the Kunstverein. This climate-neutral art exhibition aims to promote dialogue about alternative energies and gives the topic of nuclear energy an artistic perspective.
The information meeting on June 18 will not only be a platform for the exchange over current challenges in nuclear energy, but will also offer space for creative approaches and solutions.
