This is how you demolish a nuclear power plant in Germany
London This is how you demolish a nuclear power plant German-style. No big red button. No dramatic countdown. No"kaboom!"
The engineers who brought down a disused power plant on the River Rhine last week did so without an explosion. Instead they used robots to gently collapse it like a house of cards.Or at least, as gently as you can flatten an 80-meter concrete cooling tower.The tower was part of the Mülheim-Kärlich power plant, which was in operation for just over a year in the 1980s. The plant was shut down in 1988 following licensing issues and concerns about the risk of earthquakes in the area.
