Bold of you to assume they were built to any code.
Probably because it wasn't trained on it. That's not any different from asking the same of a human.
I think they were planning on natural gas, but that went down the tubes because they were planning on buying from Russia. Coal plants were restarted to fill the gap.

The Mehrum plant in Hohenhameln and the Heyden plant in Petershagen (whose operation has been extended).
Unless your nitpick is that these were started before the final nuclear shutdown, but I never said otherwise, only that both things happened recently.

Wait, the IDF shot an Israeli throwing rocks at Palestinians? Usually they shoot the Palestinians.
Egypt, 1952 and 2013. Turkey had a few military coups between 1960 and 2000, but they weren't really successful in establishing a free democracy. Probably others.
When the government does it, it's not illegal.
Also if the government allows a private entity to do it, it's not piracy, it's privateering.
And how do those readings compare to before the incident, and now?
