The INTERATOM GmbH was a company of the nuclear reactor building , located in present-day technology park Bergisch Gladbach in the district Moitzfeld of Bergisch Gladbach .

history

Interatom was founded in 1957 by Demag AG and the North American Aviation / Atomics International Division with headquarters in Duisburg as Interatom, the international nuclear reactor construction company with limited liability . In 1958 the company moved to the Old Castle in Bensberg , which had not yet been rebuilt at the time. In 1960, the company moved into its own research center in the then Bensberg district of Moitzfeld and was renamed INTERATOM GmbH.

For 40 years - at the top over 2000 - business people, lawyers, scientists, engineers, technicians and craftsmen worked on energy technology, preferably nuclear projects, and carried out tests on large-scale systems and in laboratories. The most important projects included the nuclear ship Otto Hahn , the compact sodium-cooled nuclear reactor facility in Karlsruhe , the fast breeder in Kalkar and various solar technology systems such as B. the solar village Lykovrissi near Athens . From 1972 Siemens AG was the sole shareholder, initially through its subsidiary KWU ( Kraftwerk Union ). After the decline of the Kalkar project , which was headed by Klaus Traube until 1976 , the location was closed in 1994 and the site was transferred to the Bergisch Gladbach Technology Park .
