Santa María de Garoña Nuclear Power Plant is a nuclear power station at Santa María de Garoña, Burgos (Spain). It consists of one boiling water reactor (BWR) of 466 megawatts (MWe).
The reactor vessel was build in 1966 by the Dutch RDM.[1], being the oldest Spanish Nuclear Power Plant in service[2].
The plant was opened in 1971 and would have closed on 5 July 2009 had its license not been renewed. Nuclenor, the plant's operator, had sought a ten-year extension, which was supported by Spain's Nuclear Safety Council (Consejo de Seguridad Nuclear, CSN) despite Spain's policy of phasing out nuclear power. On 2 July 2009, the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade compromised, extending the operating license for an additional four years.[3][4]
On December 16, 2012, the plant operator Nuclenor has begun shutting down the nuclear power plant, which was due to close in mid-2013. The decision was spurred by an impending law, which would impose a tax in the annual sum of app. €150 million. The safety upgrades required for extension of the operation would cost some €120 million. However, the company noted that its decision to end operation of Garoña in 2012 could be reversed if the bill is not enacted.[5]
