List of nuclear power plants in Europe

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of nuclear power plants in Europe . An overview of all nuclear power plants can be found in the list of nuclear power plants .

Europe

In Europe (excluding the Caucasus states, including Russia and Turkey) are (as of January 2020)

  • 73 nuclear power plants in 17 countries with 183 reactor blocks on the grid.
  • 14 reactor blocks under construction in eight countries.
  • 111 reactor units shut down in 14 countries.

On June 26, 1954, the Obninsk nuclear power plant in Russia was the first in Europe to go into operation.

The Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in the Ukraine is the most powerful with its six reactor blocks and an installed gross output of 6,000 MW. The two reactor blocks from Civaux in France are the most powerful in the world with a gross output of 1,561 MW each.

Belgium

In Belgium there are two nuclear power plants with seven reactor blocks and a total installed net output of 5,948 MW on the grid. Nuclear energy had a share of 54 percent of total electricity generation in Belgium in 2011; According to the IAEA, the proportion is currently 39% (as of November 2019).

The reactor block 3 of the Doel nuclear power plant was shut down until further notice in August 2012, as cracks were discovered in the reactor pressure vessel. According to the AFCN, "numerous indications" of defects in the steel of the reactor vessel have been discovered. In July 2012, the government announced the extended remaining life of the remaining reactors.

Due to the shutdown of the two defective reactors Doel 3 and Tihange 2 and a prolonged failure of Doel 4 supposedly due to manipulation, the Belgian parliament decided in June 2015 to extend the service life to 2025 for the two reactors Doel 1 and Doel 1 and intended to be decommissioned for economic reasons 2. Since nuclear energy accounts for over 50 percent of total electricity generation in Belgium, the phase-out could also be extended beyond 2025.

Germany

Nuclear power plants in Germany
Isar 2 nuclear power plant - the most powerful reactor block in Germany

In Germany there are six nuclear power plants with six reactor blocks and a total installed net output of 8,113 MW on the grid. 29 reactor blocks with a total gross output of 18,279 MW have already been decommissioned. The Kahl nuclear power plant was the first nuclear power plant in Germany to go into operation on June 17, 1961. Until December 31, 2017, the Gundremmingen nuclear power plant was the most powerful nuclear power plant in Germany with its two reactor units in operation and an installed gross output of 2,572 MW. With a gross output of 1,480 MW, the Brokdorf reactor block is the second strongest in Germany.

Up until 2010, nuclear energy had the second largest share of electricity generation in Germany (2008: 23.3%), just behind lignite. It provided 12.5 percent of the primary energy input or (due to waste heat losses) 5.7 percent of the total usable energy generation . This put Germany in fourth place worldwide in terms of annual electricity generation from nuclear energy. The base load share (round-the-clock availability) of nuclear power was up to 48 percent, albeit with considerable fluctuations due to often unpredictable reactor downtimes. After the shutdown of eight older reactor blocks in 2011, the remaining reactors should contribute around 15 percent to electricity generation. In 2013 this value was around 17 percent. This fell further in the following years to 13.1 percent.

Ireland

The first nuclear power plant was planned in Ireland since 1968; it was to be built at Carnsore Point, County Wexford . Initially only one reactor was planned, later four. The plan was abandoned after strong protests by Irish opponents of nuclear power in the late 1970s. Ireland does not operate any nuclear power plants.

Italy

There are no nuclear power plants on the grid in Italy . Four nuclear power plants, each with one reactor block and a gross total output of 1,472 MW, were shut down prematurely after the Chernobyl accident in 1986 for political reasons.

In May 2008, Silvio Berlusconi announced a return to the use of nuclear energy with the construction of several nuclear power plants in Italy in cooperation with France; the plan was to begin within the next five years. The French President Nicolas Sarkozy and the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi signed a framework agreement on the use of nuclear power on February 24, 2009. Thereafter, at least four new EPRs should be set up in Italy . On June 13, 2011, the Italians spoke out against re-entry in an anti-nuclear referendum.

Lithuania

A nuclear power plant with two reactor blocks was in operation in Lithuania from 1983 to 2009. The two reactors were shut down on December 31, 2009 in accordance with an agreement between Lithuania and the EU. Nuclear energy accounted for up to 70 percent of total electricity generation in Lithuania during this period.

The Lithuanian government was planning a return to the use of nuclear energy and the construction of reactors for the Hitachi group at the Visaginas site . In a referendum on October 15, 2012 , the majority of the Lithuanian population spoke out against re-entry. Although the referendum is not legally binding, Algirdas Butkevičius , who was elected Prime Minister of Lithuania on the same day, announced in December 2012 that he wanted to “respect the will of the Lithuanians”. This makes Lithuania the third country in the world, after Italy and Kazakhstan, that has decommissioned all of its commercial nuclear power plants and thus in effect completed a complete nuclear phase-out .

Netherlands

In the Netherlands, there is a nuclear power plant with one reactor block and an installed net output of 482 MW on the grid. A nuclear power plant with a further reactor block and a gross output of 60 MW has already been shut down. Construction plans for a second block at the Borssele site were postponed in 2012 for economic reasons. In 2011, nuclear energy accounted for four percent of total electricity generation in the Netherlands; According to the IAEA, the proportion is currently 3.05% (as of December 2019).

Austria

There is only one nuclear power plant in Austria, namely the Zwentendorf nuclear power plant .

It was a planned boiling water reactor, which should ultimately have a net output of 672 megawatts. The start of the project for this power plant began on May 1, 1971 under the then Kreisky government and only 21 days later the building permit was granted. After the completion of the nuclear power plant, there was a referendum on November 5, 1978, in which 50.47 percent of the Austrian population decided against commissioning the reactor. So the government had no choice but to shut down the project.

As a result of this referendum, Austria even passed an atomic prohibition law with constitutional status , which forbids any future construction of a nuclear power plant on Austrian territory.

The Zwentendorf nuclear power plant is still the largest investment ruin in the Republic of Austria. To this day it has never been put into operation and is still referred to by nuclear opponents as one of the greatest successes and memorial. The non-ignited fuel that had already been delivered, as well as system components, were sold. The system continues to serve as a spare parts supplier for similar systems, as a - clean - training facility for security guards and executives, guided tours are organized for interested parties and tourists. Saxophonist Martin Küchen used the hall and the emergency condensation boiler in 2013 as a reverberation and resonance space for experimental music.

Poland

In Poland, the construction of two reactors that had begun and two planned reactors at the Żarnowiec nuclear power plant was stopped in 1990 due to protests. In 2007 the Polish government decided to build two new nuclear power plants. Despite negative referendums, a final decision on the location of the first Polish nuclear power plant was planned for 2017 or 2018. However, there are currently no nuclear power plants in Poland.

Romania

In Romania there is a nuclear power plant with two reactor blocks and a total installed net output of 1,300 MW on the grid. The completion of two reactor blocks that have been under construction for a long time with a gross total output of 1,412 MW is uncertain. In 2011, nuclear energy accounted for 19 percent of total electricity generation in Romania; According to the IAEA, the proportion is currently 17.2% (as of December 2019).

Russia

In Russia there are currently ten nuclear power plants with 35 reactor blocks and a total installed net output of 25,950 MW on the grid. Three further reactor blocks with a total net output of 3,315 MW are under construction, six with a total gross output of 1171 MW have already been decommissioned.

In Russia, the Obninsk nuclear power plant was the first to go into operation in the world on June 26, 1954. The Novovoronezh 4 reactor block is the oldest still in use. It was put into operation on December 27, 1971. The Balakowo , Kursk and Leningrad (Sosnowy Bor) nuclear power plants are the most powerful with their four reactor blocks each and an installed gross output of 4,000 MW. With a gross output of 1,000 MW each, 20 reactor blocks are the most powerful. The Akademik Lomonossow nuclear power plant , the world's first floating nuclear power plant with two KLT-40 reactors each with 35 MW gross output, is currently being built in Saint Petersburg and will replace the Bilibino nuclear power plant .

Nuclear energy has a share of 18 percent of total electricity generation in Russia. Russia ranks fifth worldwide in terms of annual electricity generation from nuclear energy. In the European part of Russia, the share of total electricity generation is 37 percent.

On August 5, 2016, block 1, a VVER-1200 / 392M in Novovoronesch II, was the world's first generation III + (inherently safe, core catcher) reactor with a life expectancy of 60 years. Others followed with Novovoronesch II Block 2 and Block 1 in Leningrad II, where Block 2 is still under construction.

On December 19, 2019, the world's first floating nuclear power plant, Akademik Lomonossow, went into operation in Pewek.
