Image description

Overview of the subterranean experimental nuclear power plant in Lucens, Switzerland, pictured on January 30, 1968. On January 21, 1969, Switzerland came dangerously close to nuclear catastrophe. After renovation works, the reactor was restarted when a serious incident took place: After problems with the cooling system, a partial core meltdown occurred. The nuclear accident in Lucens today counts as the 7th most serious such incident worldwide. It brought a definite end to the plans of a Swiss nuclear reactor.
