| Abstract | Additionally, in June 2008 a general licence application was submitted for a new nuclear power plant (NPP) near the site of the Gösgen NPP. Further general licence applications to replace the older NPPs of Beznau and Mühleberg were submitted in December 2008. On 14 March 2011 however, the head of the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC) suspended the licensing procedure for new NPPs. On 25 May 2011, the Federal Council (federal government) decided to gradually phase out nuclear energy as part of its new energy strategy. Existing nuclear power plants should be decommissioned at the end of their operational lifespan and not be replaced by new nuclear power plants. |
