[에너지신문] 03 June 2016 - The German government has amended its regulatory framework to ensure that the nuclear power plants will remain liable for the costs of decommissioning nuclear facilities and storing nuclear waste, even in the case of split-ups, eliminating a nuclear liability loophole. The government will adopt recommendations by a commission to set up a €23.3bn state fund financed by power utilities to cover the costs of nuclear waste storage.

Since the German government's decision to exit nuclear by 2022 in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster in March 2011,

German power utilities have approved restructuring plants: E.ON has spun off some of its assets (creation of Uniper to handle conventional power generation and of PreussenElektra to handle nuclear assets) and RWE plans to separate its renewable, grids and retail business into a new company.
