The Enrico Fermi nuclear power plant (also known as Trino or Trino Vercellese nuclear power plant ) was a nuclear power plant near Trino , Vercelli province in Italy , which was in operation from 1965 to 1990. It was named after the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi (1901–1954) who brought about the first controlled chain reaction in a nuclear reactor with the Chicago Pile 1 in 1942 . The current owner and operator is the Società gestione impianti nucleari , while Enel was in operation .
reactor
The Enrico Fermi nuclear power plant consisted of a pressurized water reactor with a net electrical output of 260 MW and a gross electrical output of 270 MW. The thermal output was 870 MW.
history
The reactor was built from 1961 and was the only pressurized water reactor and the second most powerful reactor in Italy. The reactor went critical for the first time on June 21, 1964 . On October 22, 1964, the reactor was synchronized with the power grid for the first time and was in commercial power operation from January 1, 1965 until it was shut down together with the reactor in Caorso on July 1, 1990. In 1987 it was last used to generate electricity. After a fuel element replacement, it no longer went into operation because the government had ordered it to be shut down. From 1967 to 1970 the reactor was out of order due to technical problems, and in 1979 the reactor was also shut down because it was optimized after the accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant . In 1999, the operator Enel handed over the power plant to Societa Gestione Impianti Nucleari (SOGIN). SOGIN has been preparing to dismantle the system since 2000. There are currently 780 cubic meters of radioactive waste and 47 irradiated fuel elements with a total weight of 14.3 tons in the nuclear power plant.
