<\/p>\n

GDES, through temporary consortium UTE Monlain, has successfully dismantled the ventilation stack of the Jos\u00e9 Cabrera nuclear power plant (better known as \u201cZorita\u201d).<\/h4>\n

The Jos\u00e9 Cabrera nuclear power plant will enter the final stage of decommissioning once radiological dismantling and building decontamination have been completed. The final stage will be a conventional demolition of the facility and building structures (including the reactor building).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to Enresa, owner of the plant since 2010, 86% of the decommissioning project has already been executed.<\/p>\n

With the recent removal of the ventilation stack by GDES, through UTE Monlain<\/strong>, the external appearance of the plant has begun to change.<\/p>\n

The dismantling of the ventilation stack of the Jos\u00e9 Cabrera nuclear power plant<\/strong> was carried out successfully and within the established time frame, Enresa has confirmed.<\/p>\n

\"\"The stack, made of reinforced concrete, was 60 metres tall and stood on foundations four-and-a-half metres deep. It was cut into 12 large pieces, which were lowered to the ground to be categorised, managed and cut into smaller units.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Cabrera nuclear power plant was the first to be built in Spain<\/strong>. Construction began in July 1965 and lasted three years. Commercial operation of the plant began in August 1969 and ceased in May 2006, after 38 years of operation<\/strong>, producing 35.53 billion kWh and preventing the emission of more than 32 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

In 2012, the decommissioning of the plant arrived at one of the most crucial moments of the entire project: the opening of the reactor vessel lid and segmentation of its internal components. It was the first time that a decommissioning task of this nature had been undertaken in Spain. This project was also participated by UTE Monalin (GDES – Moncobra), providing support services to Westinghouse; the owner of the plant, Enresa, has endorsed the successful outcome of the operation.<\/p>\n
