In a letter obtained by " Spiegel ", the operator of the Isar 2 nuclear power plant, the company Preussen Elektra, writes to the Ministry of Economics - and the letter has it all.

"Sending two of the three operating plants to cold reserve at the turn of the year in order to ramp them up when needed is technically not feasible and therefore unsuitable to secure the supply contribution of the plants," writes Preussen Elektra CEO Guido Knott in the letter to the ministry, according to "Spiegel." In stretch operation, "a flexible increase or throttling of the output is no longer possible." The ministry had already been informed of this on August 25.

In particular, once the plant is shut down - as Habeck says is planned - such a plan is hardly feasible. "Then, with the limited possibilities of such a reactor core, a restart in advanced stretch operation is not feasible and certainly not in the short term within a week," "Der Spiegel" quotes from the letter.

Such a procedure has never been used before, Knott cautions. "Testing a start-up procedure that has never been practiced before should not coincide with a critical condition of the power supply."
