Is nuclear power a risk for the future of the planet?

Germany is turning away from nuclear power in 2022. Yet the country's nuclear nightmare goes
on: with umpteen thousands of tonnes of radioactive waste and the hazardous dismantling of
power plants which will take decades. NUCLEAR FOREVER by Carsten Rau takes an equally
profound and alarming look at mankind’s dream of atomic energy, in grand scenes that have
yet to be portrayed like this, and in six interwoven episodes. In the end, the viewer can and
must form their own impression of the mania called nuclear power. That has no end.

Germany is turning away from nuclear power once and for all in 2022. Because the risk is too
high, the technology unmanageable. Yet the nuclear nightmare goes on: with umpteen
thousands of tonnes of radioactive waste whose storage isn’t the least bit clear. With the
hazardous dismantling of power plants which will take decades and gobble up many billions of
euros. And with neighbours who firmly hold on to mankind’s dream of atomic energy: 13 of the
27 nations in the EU operate nuclear power plants and the development thereof continues. The
feature-length documentary film NUCLEAR FOREVER by Carsten Rau takes an equally profound
and alarming look at the nuclear nightmare. In grand scenes that have yet to be portrayed like
this, and in six interwoven episodes: about the absurd amount of effort involved in demolishing
a gigantic nuclear power plant. About the quest for a final repository that is supposed to
weather a million years and the next ten ice ages. Into the heart of the French atomic industry
that ridicules the German opt-out as “ludicrous” and wants even more power plants. In the
process, what particularly sets this film apart is that it does not take sides in this debate which
has been conducted for decades on a bitterly ideological plane. NUCLEAR FOREVER doesn’t
leave any arguments out, even though they may be unpopular. In the end, the viewer can and
must form their own impression of the mania called nuclear power. That has no end.
