7 core demands
Seven key demands to make Germany a strong, future-proof hub for nuclear fusion.
Speed up reactor licensing
Make licensing procedures for fusion reactors faster and more efficient through digitalisation.
Establish a federal office for nuclear fusion
A central body should keep track of the rapidly growing requirements of the nuclear fusion industry and accompany future developments with foresight.
100 billion euros for commercial nuclear fusion
The federal government should provide a special fund of 100 billion euros for the development of commercial nuclear fusion.
Make the deuterium and tritium markets reliable
Deregulate the market for deuterium and tritium while creating a secure framework, comparable to that of the crude oil market.
Stick to the nuclear fission phase-out
The phase-out of nuclear fission remains in place; nuclear fusion is developed as a future technology in its own right.
Strengthen international cooperation
Promote the exchange of scientists and of resources, and position Europe as an internationally strong player between the USA and China.
Encourage long-term thinking
A shift towards long-term thinking creates reliable prospects for research, industry and society.
