Currently, Germany owns 17 nuclear power plants, all of which are researched and installed by Siemens Group. In 2010, the amount of nuclear power added to the national grid in Germany was only 23%.

Following the nuclear power plant event at Fukushima Japan in March this year, governments such as Switzerland and Germany have announced that they will gradually shut down nuclear power plants. The governments of Japan and France have also announced a gradual reduction in dependence on nuclear power, as the bed world has said no to nuclear power.

Current nuclear power-related products that are being marketed by Siemens are the best quality products so the market problem is not a problem. With the announcement of renouncing business in nuclear power, this is a very negative signal for the development of nuclear power globally, but will not change the model of nuclear power development.
