Transnuklear
NUKEM Technologies GmbH（branded as NUKEM）is a German nuclear engineering company based in Karlstein am Main, with a history dating back to 1960. The company specializes in nuclear decommissioning, radioactive waste management, spent fuel handling, and the development of TRISO fuel technology. Its headquarters sit on the site of Germany’s first nuclear power plant—a facility that NUKEM itself decommissioned and restored—highlighting the company’s long-standing role in the country’s nuclear sector. Following several changes in ownership over the decades, NUKEM faced increasing regulatory challenges after the start of the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022 due to its Russian ownership at the time. In April 2024, the company filed for bankruptcy in Germany. In October of the same year Muroosystems Corporation, a Japanese Company, acquired its core assets, enabling NUKEM to resume operations and re-enter the global market under new leadership.

Mühleberg Nuclear Power Plant
The Mühleberg Nuclear Power Plant (, KKM) is a formerly operational nuclear power plant in the Mühleberg municipality in the canton of Bern, Switzerland. Operated by BKW FMB Energie AG, the plant generated power from 6 November 1972 until 20 December 2019. Nuclear decommissioning of the plant began in January 2020 and is currently forecasted to be completed by 2034. History Mühleberg 1 In parallel with the planning of Beznau 1, the then Bernische Kraftwerke AG decided to build a second nuclear power plant in the canton of Bern. Mühleberg was identified as possible location and the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) approved this choice on 21 July 1965. Two years later, on 21 March 1967, a first partial construction permit was issued, followed on 7 March 1968 by the final one. The reactor entered criticality in March 1971 but, due to a fire in the turbine housing, the plant had to be shut down for repairs. It started commercial operation on 6 November 1972.. In German ...

Brennilis Nuclear Power Plant
The Brennilis Nuclear Power Plant (EL-4) is a Nuclear decommissioning, decommissioned site located in the Monts d'Arrée in the Commune in France, commune of Brennilis in Finistère, France. History The Commissariat à l'énergie atomique began construction of this experimental reactor moderated with heavy water and cooled with carbon dioxide (HWGCR) in 1962. The reactor had a planned output power of 70 MWe. The plant achieved criticality in December, 1966. In 1971, however, the Cabinet of France, French government elected to use pressurized water reactor technology developed in the United States as their model design. On August 15, 1975, two explosions slightly damaged a turbine and destroyed a telephone circuit. The Liberation Front of Brittany claimed responsibility. In 1979 the group destroyed electrical lines going from the plant to the grid, and with there being no grid to supply power to, the plant shut down.

Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant
The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (ChNPP) is a nuclear power plant undergoing decommissioning. ChNPP is located near the abandoned city of Pripyat in northern Ukraine, northwest of the city of Chernobyl, from the Belarus–Ukraine border, and about north of Kyiv. The plant was cooled by an engineered pond, fed by the Pripyat River about northwest from its juncture with the Dnieper River. Originally named the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant of V. I. Lenin after the founding leader of the Soviet Union, the plant was commissioned in phases with the four reactors entering commercial operation between 1978 and 1984. In 1986, in what became known as the Chernobyl disaster, reactor No. 4 suffered a catastrophic explosion and meltdown; as a result of this, the power plant is now within a large restricted area known as the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Both the zone and the power plant are administered by the State Agency of Ukraine on Exclusion Zone Management. The three other reacto ...
