As bad an idea as burning lignite for fuel is, it can be expanded much faster than re-opening the nuclear plants, and Germany needs to solve its energy shortage _this_ year. I’ve heard that the fanatics that closed down the nukes had parts removed and destroyed to be sure that they could not be re-opened. Possibly worse than that, they probably didn’t go to the trouble of draining all the water and then blowing out the pipes with compressed air – and the remaining water has been freezing every winter and thawing every spring. That will do a lot of damage, and one thing you cannot risk with a nuclear reactor is bursting pipes or pressure vessels!
Even without that, restarting complex machinery after a long shutdown always requires a long period of testing and repairs. Corrosion continues, so there are apt to be machines that turned into a pile of rust and pipes that look OK but have been eaten almost through from the inside. Even without corrosion, parts that haven’t moved in years often won’t move now. Any bearing surfaces that remained under pressure are now dry, the lubricant squeezed out to where it isn’t needed. Sediment and dust has consolidated into a hard mass freezing moving surfaces together.
