This activity is fully booked

If you too are curious to know what an operating nuclear power plant looks like inside and out, this is your chance to take a two-and-a-half-hour guided tour of the Netherlands' only operational nuclear power plant on a Monday or Wednesday afternoon in July, yet to be determined.

After previous company visits to COVRA in Nieuwdorp in 2023 and URENCO in Almelo in 2024, KIVI-RBT is now offering its members the opportunity to take a look at the Borssele Nuclear Power Plant (KCB), which has been in operation since October 1973. After the upcoming regular maintenance shutdown which includes fuel changes, the plant will be back in operation in early July. The nuclear power plant of the so-called PWR or Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR) type, was built by Siemens (KWU, Kraftwerk Union) and equipped with two steam generators and one steam turbine, has a net electrical capacity of 485 MW and produces about 4 TWh per year. The current operating licence expires on 31 December 2033. Every 10 years, the plant is upgraded based on the safety requirements in force at the time, so the plant currently looks relatively new after more than 50 years of operation. With interest in electricity production by nuclear power plants on the rise again, it is good to know that the nuclear reactor types currently considered by the Dutch government are (almost) all of the PWR type.

Are you interested? Then register as soon as possible via the KIVI website, stating:
1. first name
2. surname
3. date of birth
