Why do I just not feel comfortable near nuclear power plants?

Mautern an der Donau combines history, culture, and nature and is an ideal destination for cyclists along the Danube Cycle Path. Particularly worth seeing are the listed Mautern Castle, the historic parish church with its Stations of the Cross paintings by Kremser Schmidt, and the remains of the Roman fort "Favianis." The Tullnerfeld-Danube floodplains also invite you to take relaxing breaks in nature. Whether for a short rest or a longer stay, Mautern offers a perfect combination of impressive history and picturesque scenery.

The Zwentendorf nuclear power plant on the Danube, near Tulln in Lower Austria, was planned in the 1970s as Austria's first commercial nuclear power plant. Construction began in 1972 and was essentially completed in 1976. The plant was designed as a boiling water reactor with an electrical output of 730 MW and was considered modern and safe by the standards of the time. Despite its complete construction, the power plant was never put into operation. The decisive factor was the referendum on November 5, 1978, in which 50.47% of Austrians voted against its commissioning. The National Council subsequently passed a law prohibiting the use of nuclear energy for electricity generation in Austria. Thus, Zwentendorf remains the only completed but never commissioned nuclear power plant in the world. In the following decades, the plant was not dismantled but continued to be used. Since the 2000s, it has served as a training and education center for power plant and safety personnel, as a real reactor without radioactive radiation offers a unique training environment. Guided tours, technical training sessions, film shoots, and events also take place there. A photovoltaic system was later installed on the site, making it a symbol of the energy policy shift and Austria's decision against nuclear power.

Steiner Gate “Landmark of Krems” The Steiner Gate is the landmark of Krems and the only remaining of the four former city gates. The main tower, dating from the late 15th century, bears a series of inscriptions on its exterior, including the motto AEIOU (All the earth is subject to Austria) in memory of Frederick III. Three coats of arms from 1756 adorn the city entrance: on the left, the one granted by Emperor Frederick III, still valid today, depicting the crowned double-headed eagle on a black background; on the right, the coat of arms of Ladislaus Posthumus; and in the center, the coat of arms of Maria Theresa. The installation in the base area by Leo Zogmeyer includes metal cubes with proclamations commemorating the persecution and extermination of Jewish citizens in Krems after 1938. Outside the Steiner Gate, the area was originally threatened by flooding from the Danube. The demolition of the city walls, which also served as flood protection, was only made possible by the regulation of the river in the 19th century and ultimately by the extensive construction of dams south of Krems' old town as part of the construction of the Wachau Railway at the beginning of the 20th century. A memorial stone affixed to the inner side of the Steinertor (Steiner Gate) commemorates a devastating flood in 1573 when an ice jam inundated the main road. Behind the Steinertor begins the Obere Landstraße (Upper Main Street), Krems' pedestrian zone, which, together with the Untere Landstraße (Lower Main Street), has formed the main axis of Krems' old town since the Middle Ages and leads to the Wiener Brücke (Vienna Bridge) in a length of approximately 700 meters.
