VEB nuclear power plant

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

VEB Atomkraftwerk was an institution created in the early 1950s for the development, planning and construction of nuclear power plants . From the end of the 1960s it was called VEB Kraftwerksanlagenbau , from April 1969 VEB Kombinat Kraftwerkanlagenbau and from July 1978 Kombinat Kraftwerkanlagenbau .

history

In the early 1950s, the GDR was already concerned with the development of nuclear power plants. This resulted from the recognition of the increasing demand for energy with the simultaneous lack of own raw materials such as crude oil and natural gas and the need to become independent of deliveries from abroad.

When nuclear research for the GDR was approved by the Soviet Union in 1955 , several institutions were quickly set up to promote this area:

During this time the VEB Atomkraftwerk (VEB AKW) was founded, which had an operating part in Berlin and a data center there. It was subordinate to the Office for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Technology (AKK). 1963 there was an operating part Berlin Pankow of the VEB atomic power plant.

In the years 1964 to 1966 the VEB Atomkraftwerk (VEB AKW) led a violent dispute with the Central Institute for Nuclear Physics (ZfK) in Rossendorf about the further orientation of the use of nuclear power in the GDR. The VEB AKW wanted to pursue the development of the pressurized water reactor (PWR). The ZfK considered the development of the PWR to be complete and concentrated on the fast breeder .

From the end of the 1960s, the VEB Atomkraftwerk became the VEB Kraftwerkanlagenbau and from April 1969 into the VEB Kombinat Kraftwerkanlagenbau Berlin. In April 1969 the companies VEB Kraftwerksbau Radebeul, VEB Kernkraftwerkbau Berlin, VEB Energieprojektierung Berlin and VEB Wissenschaftlich-Technische Zentrum (WTZ) Kraftwerkanlagenbau Pirna merged to form the "VEB Kombinat Kraftwerkanlagenbau". When in May 1978 the associations of people's own companies (VVB) were dissolved and Kombinate was formed, it was renamed Kombinat Kraftwerkanlagenbau in July 1978. From 1969 to 1983, Karl Rambusch was division director in the power plant construction combine in Berlin.

tasks

The tasks of the VEB atomic power plant were

  • Conception of a nuclear energy program
  • Finding a location for nuclear power plants
  • Development of building technologies
  • Further development of electrical engineering
  • Preparation of the import of Soviet nuclear power plants
  • Construction of buildings
  • Development, assembly and commissioning of auxiliary systems of the 1st cycle
  • Equipment for the 2nd circuit
  • Water treatment and supply
  • Transmission lines, roads and traffic routes
  • Overall coordination for the development, design, manufacture and testing of equipment for the manufacture of fuel elements; from 1969, already under the name VEB Kraftwerkanlagenbau.
  • Coordination of the expansion of the Greifswald nuclear power plant , units 5 and 6; from 1976, already under the name VEB Kombinat Kraftwerkanlagenbau.
