Description
The preoccupation of the Federal Republic is to lessen its energy dependency on petroleum (now 52%) particularly by developing nuclear power which could in the year 2,000 meet 27% of its primary energy needs, equally with oil. At the end of 1977, West Germany had 6 industrial reactors operating representing a total power of 5,500 MW., 12 reactors under construction (of which 8 units of 1,300 MW.) for a total power of 13,000 MW., 9 reactors under investigation (11,300 MW.), and 2 reactors 2,700 M. whose construction had been postponed for political reasons. A centre for fuel reprocessing and waste storage is also being investigated

A la fin de 1977, la RFA avait 6 reacteurs industriels en exploitation pour une puissance globale de 5500 MW, 12 reacteurs en construction (dont 8 unites de 1300 MW) pour une puissance globale de 13000 MW, 9 reacteurs a l'etude (11300 MW) et 2 reacteurs (2700 MW) dont la construction a ete ajournee pour des raisons politiques.
