A Spanish nuclear youth group has launched an initiative to campaign against the closure of the Almaraz nuclear power station, scheduled for 2027.
A spokesperson for Jóvenes Nucleares, an association that groups together young professionals and students from the Spanish nuclear sector, said 2024 is key for the plant and for Spanish society, as it corresponds to the deadline for reversing the closure decision and extending its operation beyond 2027.
The spokesperson said life extension means the purchase of more fuel stocks, new reviews of equipment, components and systems, and the extension of the individualised temporary storage facility for the management of spent fuel.
