The Hamm nuclear power plant (KKH) was to be built on the site of the Westfalen power plant , directly next to the now decommissioned THTR-300 nuclear power plant in Hamm , North Rhine-Westphalia . However, the plans were never implemented.
history
Planning for the Hamm nuclear power plant began in 1973. Originally, a US-type high-temperature reactor with prismatic fuel elements to be built next to the THTR-300 was planned, but this was abandoned after a few years because of the technical problems with HTR. According to later plans, the nuclear power plant should be equipped with a pressurized water reactor from the Konvoi series and go on stream in 1990. Kernkraftwerk Lippe-Ems GmbH (KLE) was founded as the operating company, later called Kernkraftwerk Lippe .
With the closure of the Lower Saxony nuclear power plant in Lingen in 1977, however, the KLE stepped up the planning for a new nuclear power plant at the Lingen location , the Emsland nuclear power plant , which was built and went into operation in April 1988. The project in Hamm was thus put on hold for the time being, but the operator stuck to the planned start-up date in 1990. Construction of the Hamm nuclear power plant was supposed to start at the beginning of 1984 at the latest, but the building permit was not granted. This was due, among other things, to the fact that the North Rhine-Westphalian SPD state government under Prime Minister Johannes Rau had taken a nuclear-critical stance, also because of the unsuccessfulness of the THTR-300 pebble-bed reactor operating at the Hamm site , while in Lower Saxony a CDU / FDP state government under Ernst Albrecht ruled, which supported the construction of the Emsland nuclear power plant.
In 1995 - nine years after the Chernobyl disaster - the project was finally abandoned. Two coal-fired units (D and E) of the Westphalia power plant have now been built on the former construction site.
Data of the reactor blocks
A reactor block was planned, the power plant should be equipped with a 165 meter high natural draft wet cooling tower .
