But Merkel is a physicist, not chemist.

I am quite happy that I donīt live near a nuclear power plant. :-)

Here anybody that would like it?


Physics and chemistry are closely related, especially if you are in 'physical chemistry'. Her doctorate was in quantum chemistry, but describing her work as 'physics' is also not wrong:

Later that year she went to Leipzig to study physics at Karl Marx University (now the University of Leipzig). There she met her first husband, fellow physics student Ulrich Merkel, and the two were married in 1977. After earning her diploma in 1978, she worked as a member of the academic faculty at the Central Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences in East Berlin. https://www.britannica.com/bio...

I wouldn't want to live next to any big power plant, but if I had to live next to one, it might as well be a nuclear plant. A lot less smoke and ash, so much better for your health.
