Steady success - dwindling rejection

25 years of nuclear reactor operation in the Federal Republic of Germany are an impressive proof of the controllability, reliability and safety of peaceful use of nuclear energy. The Federal Minister of Economic Affairs thinks that nuclear energy is indispensable and can be advocated in full political responsibility. The steady success of nuclear power production which consumers may read from their power bills will result in the closed ranks of critics to crumble slowly but safely, and will cause the unease felt by citizens who are still disconcerted, to dwindle increasingly.
