Fact-Check Results:
This claim is false. The German nuclear phase-out was not primarily based on expert reports but was driven by decades of political, social, and environmental activism, with roots in the anti-nuclear movement of the 1970s. Multiple sources, including historical analyses and recent statements by German officials, confirm that key data points were disputed and experts were divided on the decision. In 2026, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz even admitted that the phase-out was a "severe strategic mistake," citing energy shortages and economic strain.
You can verify this by checking official German government archives, energy policy reports, and statements from German officials available on platforms like DW or the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
