Mülheim-Kärlich Nuclear Power Plant

Mülheim-Kärlich, Germany

The Mülheim-Kärlich nuclear power plant is a nuclear power station located near the town of Mülheim-Kärlich in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It lies on the Rhine, about 10 km northwest of the city of Koblenz. The power station was operated by Société Luxembourgeoise de Centrales Nucléaires, a daughter company of RWE. It was the only nuclear power plant in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate after it was completed in 1986, however, due to problems with the building permit it only operated for 3 years and was taken offline in 1988. Subsequent attempts to bring the plant online continued until 1998 when the supreme court ruled for it to never be restarted.
