Greifswald Nuclear Power Plant

Lubmin, Germany

Greifswald nuclear power station (Kernkraftwerk Greifswald, KKW Greifswald), also known as Lubmin nuclear power station or KGR, was the largest nuclear power station in East Germany before it was shut down shortly after the German reunification. The plant's reactors were of the VVER-440/V-230 type, which was the second generation of Soviet-designed reactors. The plant is located in Lubmin near Greifswald, in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. When operational, the plant provided roughly one third of East Germany's energy needs. As of 2024, around 1000 workers continue to work on the site 35 years later for decommissioning purposes.
