German town divided over nuclear shutdown

  • 13 years ago
The nuclear power station in the village of Neckarwestheim, in the German state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, has already shut down one of its reactors. After the German government annouced its intention to phase out nuclear energy on Monday, the second could close down in 2020. But not everyone in this wealthy village will be pleased, as the local economy has come to rely on the nuclear plant.Duration: 01:49
