During the work period until 1986, the nuclear power station produced 29 million of kWh. From 1986, year of recess, until 1990 the nucler power station was in a state of maintenence and all the systems were in good condition to restart the activity. After the approval CIPE in July 1990, which decided to close difinitively the structure, the first dismantling steps of some departements began. In 1999 SOGIN obtained the property of the former Nuclear power station. The company proposed to the relevant authorities a full dismantiling plan.
