flag Germany demolished two 160-meter cooling towers at its decommissioned Gundremmingen nuclear plant on October 25, 2025, as part of its nuclear phaseout.

flag Two cooling towers at Germany’s decommissioned Gundremmingen nuclear plant were demolished in a controlled explosion on October 25, 2025, marking a key milestone in the country’s nuclear phaseout. flag The 160-meter-tall structures, built in 1980, collapsed after precise detonations, sending 56,000 tonnes of concrete into a restricted zone. flag The event, witnessed by thousands, follows the plant’s shutdown in December 2021. flag Full decommissioning is expected by 2040, with plans to repurpose the site for renewable energy, including solar power and battery storage.
