    The Grafenrheinfeld nuclear power plant (abbreviation: KKG) was in operation from 1982 to 2015. It is located south of Schweinfurt near Grafenrheinfeld in Lower Franconia on the left bank of the Main.

    Construction began in 1974 by Bayernwerk AG, and it was commissioned on December 9, 1981. It is a third-generation pressurized water reactor (“pre-convoy” plant) with a gross electrical output of 1345 megawatts. Annual electricity production averaged over ten billion kilowatt hours. The operator is PreussenElektra GmbH, based in Hanover. The nuclear power plant has two cooling towers that are visible from afar, each 143 meters high. A newly built interim storage facility for spent nuclear fuel elements went into operation on March 1, 2006.

    The nuclear power plant was shut down on June 27, 2015.

    On August 16, 2024, the two cooling towers were blown up.

      beautiful is different, but it's part of the history of Grafenrheinfeld. But the lakes in the further course of the cycle path are all the more beautiful.

            . . . Anyone who wants to see a so-called nuclear interim storage facility (in fact a repository) up close should try to come here. If you don't, you should drive around as far as possible. . .

              Unfortunately only worth seeing from the outside

                Before the towers are demolished soon (August 2024), you have one last chance to admire the not really beautiful, but interesting cooling towers up close.

                    The towers are now gone. They were blown up on August 16, 2024 at 8 p.m.
