In Spain, “the future for nuclear is looking bleak” according to reporter Paige Lambermont. In 2019 the government decided to phase out the country’s seven nuclear reactors. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party formed a new government coalition last fall that quickly reaffirmed its once-stalled commitment to closing Spain’s reactors. On December 26, the Council of Ministers (the main decision-making body of Spain’s government) approved the Seventh General Plan for Radioactive Waste, which includes a final schedule for decommissioning the reactors. The first shutdown will occur in 2027, and the last in 2035.
