The decommissioned Garigliano nuclear power plant near Sessa Aurunca , Caserta province in Italy , on the Garigliano River, was in operation from 1964 to 1982. The current owner and operator is the Società gestione impianti nucleari (SOGIN), while it was in operation until 1965 it was the Società ElettroNucleare Nazionale and then Enel .
reactor
The Garigliano nuclear power plant consisted of a boiling water reactor with a net electrical output of 150 MW and a gross output of 160 MW. This made it, together with the Latina nuclear power plant, the weakest performing nuclear power plant in Italy. The reactor belonged to the first generation of nuclear facilities .
history
In 1957, the ENSI (Energia Nucleare Sud Italia) project was designed to build a nuclear power plant in southern Italy. Twenty manufacturers were invited to tender for the construction of the power plant, and in 1958 the contract was finally signed with General Electric . Construction of the reactor began on November 1, 1959. The reactor became critical for the first time on June 5, 1963 . On January 1, 1964, the nuclear power plant was first synchronized with the power grid; from June 1, 1964, it was in commercial operation. The nuclear power plant was last used for commercial power generation in 1978, because in 1978 a secondary steam generator was damaged. On March 1, 1982 it was finally shut down, as the operator Enel decided in 1981 that the costs for a repair were too high. In November 1999 the power plant, like all other nuclear power plants in Italy, was handed over to the Società gestione impianti nucleari (SOGIN). The power plant should be completely dismantled by 2016.
