Germany shuts down seven nuclear reactors


"We are launching a safety review of all nuclear reactors ... with all reactors in operation since the end of 1980 set to be idled for the period of the (three-month) moratorium," Merkel said.

Germany's 17 nuclear power stations are operated by E.ON, RWE, EnBW and Swedish Vattenfall.
