The station operated from 1981 until June 28, 2015, when it was shut down as part of Germany's nuclear phase-out policy. It was built from 1974 to 1981 and cost about 2.5 billion German marks . The reactor, Germany's third-generation pressurized water reactor with a useful electrical output of 1,345 megawatts, reached its first criticality on December 9, 1981. The plant is operated by PreussenElektra GmbH . Two 143-meter (469-foot) high cooling towers are visible from afar. Like almost all other nuclear power plants, the site has temporary storage facilities for spent nuclear fuel . The power plant has an information center. Under Germany's nuclear phase-out policy, the plant was scheduled to close on December 31, 2015. Citing economic reasons, E.ON announced its intention to close the plant earlier, initially in late May 2015. NPS in Grafenreinfeld was shut down on June 28, six months before its scheduled closure on Dec. 3, 2015, as part of Germany's ongoing policy to close all nuclear power plants in the country by 2022. The plant's owners decided it was unprofitable to continue operating as planned.
