Dear teachers,

Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?

When the German government unveils its new energy concept September 28, it will likely announce a plan to prolong the life span of the country's 17 existing nuclear power plants

life span = a lifetime; longevity

Thank you for your efforts.

Regards,

V

Hi Vil

For "life span" read "operational life".

Hope this helps

Best regards
