content
Filmmaker Haro Senft, later one of the signatories of the Oberhausen Manifesto , made a film about the construction and commissioning of the Kahl nuclear power plant , the first commercial nuclear power plant in the Federal Republic of Germany. The building was commissioned by the energy supply groups RWE and Bayernwerk , built by Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft (AEG) with General Electric as licensor and supplier for the boiling water reactor. The Kahl experimental nuclear power plant (VAK) went into operation on November 13, 1960. Although the plant was located on the Großwelzheim site, the name Versuchsatomkraftwerk Kahl remained, once it was shorter and was also intended to make pronunciation easier for the Americans working in the nuclear power plant.
At the same time, the most important events of those years are captured on the basis of historical recordings, so that a sketchy outline of the period from 1958 to 1960 is created.
