Shutdown of nuclear power stations

Experience from shutdown operations at the plants at Niederaichbach, Gundremmingen, Unit A and at the Kahl experimental nuclear power station demonstrate that, in the framework of shutting down German nuclear power stations, by far most of the work required has already been mastered. The total dismantling of Niederaichbach nuclear power station has been successfully completed. Whenever, in about 10 to 15 years, the first large capacity reactors have to be shut down, sufficient experience will be available and it will be possible to manage this work safely. (orig.)
