Does that graphic show the "Laufzeitverlängerung", including shutdown and upgrade to increase the life span by a decade or two? I wonder what this paper includes. Does it just assume that you can keep on operating all plants, or does it take the Laufzeitverlängerung plan from early 2000s into account and calculate what that would have brought. In reality the phase out in Germany was decided in the 1980s by not building new plants. And in a way France has also decided to phase out or drastically reduce their nuclear share because they are not building or only very slowly building new plants.
