A small nuclear power plant was considered the perfect solution for the energy needs of our main base in Antarctica. It was decided later that this was not the best approach and the nuclear power plant was dismantled and every bit of radioactive material was shipped out of Antarctica. My photograph shows the control room of the small reactor.

7 units of European nuclear power plants were shut down on December 31 2006 167 are still working and 4 units are under construction
