Leibstadt Nuclear Power Plant
Leibstadt Nuclear Power Plant, Nuclear power facility in Leibstadt, Switzerland
Leibstadt Nuclear Power Plant is an electricity generation facility located along the Rhine River that uses a boiling water reactor to produce power. The installation occupies a significant site on the riverbank and features the characteristic structures of a modern nuclear facility.
Construction started in the 1970s and the facility became operational in 1984. Safety requirements were significantly strengthened after the Three Mile Island accident, which led to modifications of the original design.
The plant represents Swiss engineering excellence with six national energy companies forming a consortium to operate this essential electricity generation facility.
The site sits directly on the Rhine and is visible from outside but cannot be entered. Visitors can view the installation from vantage points along the river to observe its scale and structures.
The facility is jointly operated by multiple power companies working together to manage its operations. This collaborative approach reflects how Switzerland's energy infrastructure relies on partnerships among different utilities.
