Vandellòs Nuclear Power Plant
Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox power station The Vandellòs Nuclear Power Plant is a nuclear power plant in Vandellòs located close to the Coll de Balaguer pass (Baix Camp comarca) in Catalonia, Spain.
Unit one was a 508 MWe carbon dioxide gas cooled reactor[1] modeled on the UNGG reactor at the Saint Laurent Nuclear Power Plant in France. It was shut down on 31 July 1990, following an incident that damaged one of its two turbogenerators on 19 October 1989. Important nuclear safety functions in the plant were impaired by the fire, and the event was later classified as a level 3 event in the International Nuclear Event Scale.[2][3][4] Its radioactive machinery was dismantled by 2003. It is expected that the passive equipment's radioactivity has decayed enough by the 2030'ies for these larger structures to be removed.[5][3]
Unit two is a 1087 MWe PWR. The station's owners are: 72% Endesa and 28% Iberdrola.
