Germany suspends the aging of its power plants. Concerns in France and Switzerland

The effect of accidents in nuclear power plants whose true impact on the Japanese word yet relatively inexpensive, and some analysts estimated could cost insurance companies $ 34 billion, has agreed to immediately hear in the 14 countries of the old continent for years living with the atom, turning high-level debate on the safety and appropriateness to build new power plants.

The measure of how serious are the concerns was given by European Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger, who on Tuesday convened a meeting of leading experts on nuclear safety in Europe. In an interview with a German radio Oettinger said that the safety of older nuclear plants should be tested rigorously and has refused to rule out plant closures, if necessary.
