It would be next to impossible to get access to a commissioned nuclear powerplant and enter containment as a visitor. However, there is a nuclear power plant in vienna that was never used and can be visited: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwentendorf_Nuclear_Power_Plant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwentendorf_Nuclear_Power_Plan...
Additionally, many universities have research reactors - they often have tours or a tour can be easily arranged.
- masklinn 10y ago> It would be next to impossible to get access to a commissioned nuclear powerplant and enter containment as a visitor. Pish posh, it's absolutely possible to visit active nuclear plants, usually for free, though you may need a small group (half a dozen or more) depending on the operator.
- witty_username 10y agoBut can you enter containment?
- sgift 10y agoYes, you can. The only area we didn't visit when I toured Isar 2 was the control room (we looked through the window and got a description of the various parts and their function).
- avar 10y agoHow did you arrange this? Is this something you just sign up, or do you call them and assure them you're enthusiastic about nuclear energy and eventually they relent?
