📋 Tender Overview
I read the letter from PreussenElektra with some astonishment.I was amazed for three reasonsFirst of all the concept has obviously not been understood because as has been explained several times the operational reserve is not about running the nuclear power plants up and down but about deciding how the specific supply situation in Germany and Europe will develop and then along it to decide in the stress test scenarios whether the power plants are needed or not. This can be done in December with a view to January it can also be done in January or February. Thats how its always been presented obviously not understood properly.Second It is correct that there were of course repeated contacts with all nuclear power plant operators on this subject. And there was a letter from PreussenElektra if I remember it correctly - dated August 25th in which they said that if we should go into the stretching operation longer - i.e. not into the operational reserve - but drive through a short-term shutdown of the nuclear power plant so it has to go out. But thats exactly what they say today - not with an operational reserve. This is technically not easy to understand which is why we will now have these discussions again about what actually applies.But in fact in previous talks we were told that the nuclear power plant must and should be identified at short notice in the case of stretching operations and then that must also apply to the operational reserve because then it cannot make any technical difference.Thirdly to my knowledge the revision of Isar 2 was last carried out in October 2021. The revisions are carried out annually. This annual test was also suspended so the annual test would actually be due in October 2022. But because there is a statutory end of term on December 31 2022 this check was no longer necessary for the last two months. But also for a stretching operation - the obvious wish of Isar 2 and PreussenElektra or eon - an overhaul would of course have been necessary. We have never made a secret of the fact that the safety standards must be fully complied with if the nuclear power plants continue to operate or possibly continue to operate. Should the letter be interpreted in such a way that the nuclear power plants can only continue
