Brennilis Nuclear Power Plant

Decommissioned Reactors ( gross ):

The nuclear power plant Brennilis (also EL -4 or Arree Mounts named after the area ) is located in the region of Brittany in the département of Finistère. The moderated with heavy water and gas-cooled reactor was in operation from 1967 to 1985. The start of construction of the power plant with a capacity of 70 MW was 1962. The total operating time of the plant amounted to 106,000 h Currently the system is being dismantled.

Key data

The nuclear power plant was operated by the French company Electricité de France (EDF) and the Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique (CEA ). The caring for the cooling water flow Ellez was dammed extra for the power plant. The facility was extremely controversial and in the 1970s repeated target of attacks.

The nuclear power plant consists of an experimental reactor, called CANDU reactor, in which the cooling and moderation vonstattengeht by heavy water. The net power was (MW ) and the gross capacity at 75 MW at 70 megawatts. Construction of the reactor block was on July 1, 1962, he went on 9 July 1967 in operation. On 31 July 1985, he was shut down.

In 2005 the second phase of ongoing since 1985 dismantling of the plant was completed.

On 6 June 2007, the Conseil d' État stopped (Council of State ), the third phase, in which had been worked in the area of the reactor. The cost for the complete dismantling of the power plant are currently estimated at 482 million euros. Thus, the current estimates are already five times higher than the initial forecast.
