History

Planning

On May 5, 1955 the Federal Republic of Germany, with the French occupation force, started to work seriously towards peaceful use of nuclear energy. Particularly the district of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg were interested in such development. In 1957 the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Kernkraft Stuttgart (AKS) group had already been created in Baden-Württemberg. The president and minister of economics of Baden-Wuerttenberg at the time, Hermann Veit took over the project of establishing a nuclear power plant, and looked towards the Calder Gas cooled reactor in England for a design.

In spring 1959, AKS decided on Exoten for the reactors, who designed the organisch moderierten und gekühlten Reaktor (OMRE).
