Remerschen nuclear power station

The Remerschen nuclear power station was a proposed pressurized water reactor with an intended capacity of 1,300 Megawatt in Remerschen in south-east Luxembourg. It was in planning from 1973 and would have started operation in 1981, but was never built. It would have been the first nuclear power plant in Luxembourg. Already in its planning phase, it was in competition to the planned Cattenom Nuclear Power Plant that would later be built in France. The Luxembourgish project was supported by the German government as well as the minister-presidents of Saarland (Franz-Josef Röder) and Rheinland-Pfalz (Helmut Kohl). It would have cost 1,5 billion Deutsche Mark, and at least 50% of its generated energy would have flowed to Germany.
