Leibstadt Nuclear Power Plant, Nuclear power facility in Leibstadt, Switzerland
The Leibstadt Nuclear Power Plant stretches across 24 hectares along the Rhine River, featuring a boiling water reactor that generates 1,220 megawatts of electrical power.
Construction of the facility began in 1974 and underwent modifications due to new safety regulations following the 1979 Three Mile Island incident before opening in 1984.
The plant represents Swiss engineering excellence with six national energy companies forming a consortium to operate this essential electricity generation facility.
This nuclear installation produces 9,600 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually, supplying power to two million households across Switzerland through its advanced reactor system.
The Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate maintains continuous oversight of the facility while operators contribute to government-supervised funds for future decommissioning costs.
