Enrico Fermi Nuclear Power Plant (Italy)

F1

Decommissioned Reactors ( gross ):

The nuclear power plant Enrico Fermi (also known as nuclear power plant Trino Trino or Vercelli ) was a nuclear power plant at Trino, Vercelli province in Italy, which from 1965 to 1990 was in operation. It was named after the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi (1901-1954), the 1, 1942, the first controlled chain reaction brought with the Chicago Pile in a nuclear reactor about. Current owners and operators is the Società gestione impianti Nucleari, during the operating time it was Enel.

Reactor

The nuclear power plant Enrico Fermi consisted of a pressurized water reactor with a net electrical output of 260 MW and a gross electrical output of 270 MW. The thermal power was 870 MW.

History

The reactor was built in 1961 and was the only pressurized water reactor and the second largest reactor in Italy at all. The reactor was first critically on 21 June 1964. On October 22, 1964, the reactor was first synchronized with the power grid and was from 1 January 1965 commercial operation until it was shut down with the reactor in Caorso on 1 July 1990. In 1987, he was last used to generate electricity. After a change of fuel he was no longer in operation, as the government had ordered the shutdown. From 1967 to 1970, the reactor due to technical problems out of service in 1979 stopped the reactor because it has been optimized after the accident at Three Mile Iceland. In 1999, the power plant by the operator Enel Societa the Gestione Impianti Nucleari ( SOGIN ) was passed. Since 2000 SOGIN prepares the dismantling of the plant. Currently located in the nuclear power plant 780 cubic meters of radioactive waste and spent fuel 47 with a total weight of 14.3 tons.
