Energy Conundrum Japan Retreats from a Nuclear-Free Future

In the wake of the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe, Japan turned its attention to renewable energies. Such technologies, however, will take years to develop. In the mean time, the country is importing increased amounts of fossil fuels -- and flirting with a return to nuclear energy. Von Wieland Wagner

Sluggish Reaction to Fukushima Germany Unprepared for Major Nuclear Disaster

If a nuclear disaster comparable to Fukushima were to hit a German nuclear plant, authorities would be unprepared to handle it, and scientific projections show that radiation would likely spread much further than previous estimates. But government agencies have done little to address the problem. Critics call the delay a "scandal." Von Michael Fröhlingsdorf, Cordula Meyer und Holger Stark

Energy Revolution Stalls Berlin Struggles to Realize Nuclear-Free Ambitions

In the wake of the Fukushima disaster, the German government made a sudden and unexpected decision to phase out nuclear power by 2022. But precious little progress has been made. Key questions remain unanswered while various ministries quibble over their roles and Chancellor Merkel focuses on the pressing euro crisis. Von Veit Medick und Philipp Wittrock

A Power Grid of Their Own German Village Becomes Model for Renewable Energy

The tiny village of Feldheim, some 60 kilometers southwest of Berlin, was catapulted by chance to the forefront of the renewable energy movement. Now visitors from around the world are flocking to this otherwise unremarkable rural community to see if they can replicate its success. Von Renuka Rayasam

Undeterred by Fukushima Nuclear Lobby Pushes Ahead with New Reactors

One year after the reactor accident in Fukushima, resistance to nuclear energy is growing around the world. But the atomic industry continues to push for the construction of new reactors, primarily in emerging economies. The German government even wants to support that expansion -- despite the fact it has abandoned nuclear power back home. By SPIEGEL Staff.

'It Was Like the Reactor Was in a Shaker' German Nuclear Inspectors Remember Fukushima
