However, under German nuclear policy introduced in 2001, the operational lives of Germany\u2019s nuclear power plants is limited to 32\u00a0years. Indeed, had the unit not been in the maintenance outage it could have faced closure before last year\u2019s governmental elections, which saw the return of a right-of-centre coalition government committed to rescinding the country\u2019s policy to phase out nuclear power. Despite the recent expenditure lavished on the plant by RWE, Biblis A could still potentially face closure before the end of the year if a policy change enabling German nuclear utilities to extend plant operating lives is not forthcoming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RWE\u2019s Biblis A pressurised water reactor has restarted after over a year offline for \u20ac68\u00a0million ($92\u00a0million) of upgrades and modernisation work.
