Active reactors ( gross ):

The nuclear power plant Cofrentes (Spanish Central nuclear de Cofrentes, abbreviation CNC) is a Spanish nuclear power plant. It is about 70 kilometers in a straight line to the east of Spain west-southwest of Valencia and consists of a boiling water reactor.

Although the wastewater previously somewhat decayed inside the facility; Nevertheless, the activity values ​​are in the vicinity of the plant - v. a case of special weather conditions such as heat or wind - each slightly higher than in the surrounding area.

The reactor is a General Electric reactor with an electric gross output of 1102 MW and thus the strongest reactor Spain. Construction began on September 9, 1975. The reactor was on August 23, 1984 for the first time critical. He was first synchronized on 14 October 1984 with the electricity grid and took on 11 March 1985, commercial operation on.
