Living in the shadow of the cooling tower

Xaver Bummer, 70, retired painter and scaffolder, climbs out of the river, on the other side of which a metre-high fence with barbed wire secures the Isar 2 nuclear power plant.

Bummer was against the nuclear power plant. Always. But he made arrangements. In everyday life, the trappings bother him the most. When he sits here in his garden in the evening, the floodlights of the power station make the opposite bank as bright as day. The security service makes its regular rounds with the precision of clockwork.

It seems like we’re living in a time warp. Russia versus the West. oil crisis. gas crisis. atomic bomb. And here around the power plant, it also looks as if everything is about to start all over again.
