Two cooling towers at a nuclear facility in Gundremmingen, Germany, have been brought down in a recent controlled demolition. These towers had been a prominent feature in the landscape since their construction in 1980. During the demolition process, thick clouds of white smoke and dust were observed rising into the air as explosives were used to facilitate the collapse.
The Gundremmingen nuclear plant had not been in operation for the past four years. This demolition is in line with Germany’s overarching strategy to phase out nuclear energy, a policy that has seen significant developments in recent years. How will the removal of such facilities impact local energy production and environmental policies in the region?
