Stock Photo - 10 December 2021, Bavaria, Gundremmingen: The cooling towers of the nuclear power plant stand behind electricity pylons. Units B and C in Gundremmingen were completed in 1984 and then went into operation within a few months of each other. Prior to that, unit A, which had been completed in 1966, was shut down in 1977 after a serious accident. The first reactor in the Swabian municipality once marked the beginning of industrial nuclear power production in the Federal Republic.
