The shut down Grohnde nuclear power plant (KWG) is located next to River Weser, north of the town of Grohnde in the Lower Saxony municipality of Emmerthal in the Hameln-Pyrmont district. The plant began commercial power operation February 1, 1985. The plant was shut down on 31 December 2021 as part of Germany's transition to a renewable energy future (Atomausstieg). Nuclear decommissioning is expected to take 15 years. In Germany is currently a political discussion about reopening. Since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 and the energy crisis, politicians discuss about re-opening the three nuclear power stations which where shut down on December 31, 2021 (Grohnde , Brokdorf and Gundremmingen).
