Not in Germany, it isn't - nor will it ever, unless the Greens get ejected out of parliament. What I find bemusing is the reports that the French are planning a new generation of Nuclear Power Stations specifically to be able to generate and sell electricity to Germany, generating massive returns - whilst locating them all along the Rhine river, thus in case of an accident, the contamination will typically be blown into Germany...
That's how dumb German politicians are, to accept such madness instead of building their own nuclear power plants....
