Würgassen Nuclear Power Plant
(165)
The Würgassen nuclear power plant in the Würgassen district of the town of Beverungen in the East Westphalian district of Höxter consisted of a 2nd generation boiling water reactor. It had a gross electrical output of 670 MW and a net electrical output of 640 MW. It was built over a period of three years and operated from 1971 to August 26, 1994. During a planned overhaul, hairline cracks were found in the steel shell of the reactor core. In 1995, after a thorough investigation, the operator applied for a decommissioning and demolition permit for economic reasons. This was granted by the nuclear regulatory authority in 1997. For 17 years, until 2014, the nuclear power plant was dismantled and then freed from radioactive substances, which cost a total of more than one billion euros.
