EWN Entsorgungswerk für Nuklearanlagen GmbH , until February 2, 2017 Energiewerke Nord GmbH (EWN), is a company specializing in the dismantling of decommissioned nuclear power plants (NPP). It also operates as a federally owned railway infrastructure company . In this capacity, it operates the connection to the Greifswald NPP and, since December 31, 1999, the Schönwalde – Lubmin railway line . It is the legal successor of the former East Germany - Combine nuclear power plants "Bruno Leuschner" .

activity

The EWN are for the Greifswald (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania), Rheinsberg (Brandenburg), AVR Jülich (North Rhine-Westphalia) nuclear power plants as well as for the dismantling of the Karlsruhe reprocessing plant in Linkenheim-Hochstetten and the reactors on the site of the Karlsruhe Nuclear Research Center ( MZFR , KNK I and II ) in Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen .

The EWN also operate the Interim Storage Facility North (ZLN) in Lubmin and are building an energy and technology center. The Nord Stream gas pipeline lands in Lubmin.

Furthermore, the EWN are active in Murmansk, Russia, on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Economics, where the reactor segments of nuclear submarines are currently being dismantled with the help of German specialists .

history

The EWN are the legal successors of the former GDR combine nuclear power plants " Bruno Leuschner ". After reunification in 1990, the Treuhandanstalt was initially appointed as a partner. The Federal Ministry of Finance has been the company's sole shareholder since the beginning of 2000 .

The Greifswald and Rheinsberg nuclear power plants were fundamental components of the GDR's energy policy , which in the long term wanted to cover around 30–40% of its electricity needs with nuclear energy . As the first nuclear power plant in the GDR, a Soviet pressurized water reactor of the VVER line with an electrical output of 70 MW was put into operation in Rheinsberg in 1966 .

In 1967 the construction of the Greifswald nuclear power plant began. Eight reactors of the Soviet type VVER 440-230 with an electrical output of 440 MW each were to be built here. In 1973 the first block went into operation. Three more followed by 1979. The fifth unit 5, which was significantly modified in terms of safety, began trial operation in 1989. Unit 6 was also already built at the time of German reunification, but not yet in operation. Blocks 7 and 8 were under construction. In connection with the reunification, a comprehensive safety analysis was carried out for the Greifswald reactors. It was found that the reactors could only have been converted to Western safety standards with great effort.

In a letter to the then Federal Minister of Economics, Helmut Haussmann (FDP), the head of the Treuhandanstalt Detlev Rohwedder warned that a political decision was overdue. There is no point in continuing to put money from the trust establishment into the nuclear power plants of the ex-GDR - neither in those that have been shut down nor in those that are being developed. The industry had already made it clear earlier that it did not want to spend its own money on the Stendal nuclear power plant that was under construction . It was therefore decided to shut down all reactors in Rheinsberg and Greifswald. Both have been shut down since 1990 and have been dismantled since 1995.
