The Latina Nuclear Power Plant , also Borgo Sabotino Nuclear Power Plant ( Italian Centrale Nucleare di Borgo Sabotino ), was the first nuclear power plant in Italy at Borgo Sabotino , Latina , which was in operation from 1964 to 1987, until after the referendum of 1987, the nuclear phase-out in Italy regulated, was switched off. The current owner and operator is the Società gestione impianti nucleari (SOGIN).
reactor
The Latina nuclear power plant consisted of a Magnox reactor (GCR) with a net electrical output of 153 MW and a gross electrical output of 160 MW. Together with the Garigliano nuclear power plant , it was therefore the lowest power plant in Italy.
history
It was decided to build a British gas graphite reactor (Magnox-GCR), which is operated with natural uranium. The contract went to the British Nuclear Power Plant Co. The contract was signed on August 31, 1958, when preparations for the construction of the power plant had already begun. According to the contract, a 200 MW Magnox reactor was to be built in Latina and later an identical one in the sister station Bradwell (Great Britain). Construction of the nuclear reactor began on November 1, 1958 and was the first commercial nuclear power plant to be built in Italy. The reactor went critical for the first time on December 27, 1962 . On May 12, 1963, the Latina nuclear power plant was first synchronized with the power grid; from January 1, 1964, it was in commercial operation until it was finally shut down on December 1, 1987 as the second nuclear power plant in Italy. In 1986 it was last used for commercial electricity production. At the time of commissioning, it was the most powerful reactor in Europe. A 400 MWe combined cycle power plant is now being built on the site of the former nuclear power plant. In 2000 the fuel elements from the reactor, weighing 1,425 tons, were brought to England for reprocessing .
