Stade Nuclear Power Plant

Stade, Germany

Stade nuclear power plant (Kernkraftwerk Stade, KKS) operated from 1972 to 2003 in Bassenfleth close to the Schwinge river mouth into the Elbe river. It was the first nuclear plant shut down after Germany's nuclear phase out legislation and is currently being decommissioned (Phase 2: Deconstruction of larger modules in the containment building). The station is on the left bank of the Elbe in Stadersand, a locality of Stade, to the west of Hamburg in Lower Saxony beside Schilling Power Station, which has also been shut down. It was a light water reactor.
