Santa María de Garoña Nuclear Power Plant is a closed nuclear power station at Santa María de Garoña, Burgos (Spain). It consists of one boiling water reactor (BWR) of 466 megawatts (MWe). The reactor vessel was built in 1966 by the Dutch RDM.,〔http://www.shipmotions.nl/RDM/RDM-MF/RDM-MF-1968A.html〕 being the oldest Spanish Nuclear Power Plant in service.〔(Spain's oldest nuclear plant shuts down ) Reuters, 16 December 2012〕 The reactor is a BWR/3 model with a Mark I containment building. The plant was opened in 1971 and officially closed on 5 July 2013. Nuclenor, the plant's operator, had sought a ten-year extension, which was supported by Spain's Nuclear Safety Council (''Consejo de Seguridad Nuclear'', CSN) despite Spain's policy of phasing out nuclear power. On 2 July 2009, the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade compromised, extending the operating license for an additional four years subject to safety upgrades, though this extension was never used.〔 〕 On December 16, 2012, the plant operator Nuclenor has begun shutting down the nuclear power plant, which was due to close in mid-2013, to avoid producing taxable power during 2013. The decision was spurred by an impending law, which would impose a tax in the annual sum of about €150 million. The safety upgrades required for extension of the operation would have cost some €120 million. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Santa María de Garoña Nuclear Power Plant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
