Last month Germany announced plans to completely phase out the use of nuclear power by 2022 in favor of renewable energy sources - however what is to become of the nation's nuclear plants after they have been shut down? Enter West Germany's Wunderland Kalkar - an incredible adaptive reuse project that transformed a never-used nuclear reactor into an amusement park! The remarkable renovation took a power station in Kalkar and turned it into a park that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.
Wunderland Kalkar hosts a range of activities and play areas for the whole family – from high-flying swings to merry-go-rounds, and a carousel. The repurposed site has worked wonders for the area’s tourism industry, attracting an average of 600,000 visitors a year.

what about residual radiation
what about NEVER USED is so hard to understand??????
there would be no contamination as there was NO USAGE
It says it was a never used reactor
I dont know Im not from Germany, Im from the US so I dont know what Germany would allow nor how advanced they are in the nucular clean ups while you trying to be smart. I do know that all is not known about contaminated soil an how long it last an how deep the contamination may go.
Do you really think you can operate a theme park in Germany if there would be the slightest hint of threat for the visitors?
Im not to sure bout this, I mean in 20, 40 yrs am I gonna suddenly have cancer an it be traced back to contaminated ground that they thought was taken care of?
