The Fessenheim nuclear power plant, located on the border with Germany, is finally set to undergo decommissioning. This long-awaited project, valued at €1.4 billion, is anticipated to take approximately 22 years to complete.
Built in 1971, the Fessenheim facility houses France's oldest nuclear reactors. Their operational history has been marked by ongoing discussions about safety and sustainability.
As EDF prepares to dismantle the plant, this initiative represents a significant step in France's energy transition, reflecting broader changes in the country's approach to nuclear energy.
