It reflects the public opinion in Austria being against nuclear energy. I wonder, what is background of this opinion. Interesting enough, this story would'nt be news in my home country. At the moment Finland is not only keeping the existing ractors going, but even building more. The new plant should have been ready last spring, but because of delays of the supplier, the new dead line is 2012. When it is finished, this will be the biggest plant in the world. There are plans to continue building new plants, but this has not been accepted in the parliament yet. This is a bit absurd, since according to many polls, most of the people are actually against nuclear power. The arguments pro more nuclear power seems still to stronger among the powerkeepers.
