The nuclear power plant was shut down (license withdrawn) because the site was deemed to be too low in terms of seismic hazard. In other countries, technical improvements are made in such cases. In Germany, the licensing process would have had to start all over again, and political resistance was growing. The total costs of construction, decommissioning, legal disputes, and dismantling are likely to be in the range of more than €7 billion to €8 billion, depending on the estimate. RWE's annual reports wrote off the project as a total loss.
