It is not possible to visit the power plant. Because the nuclear power plant was never in use, a [[coal]] power plant was built in 1987 to replace it. The plant is now owned by Austrian energy company and used as a [[Solar Power Plant]]. ==Related pages== *[[Anti-nuclear movement]] ==Notes== {{commonscat|Nuclear Power Plant Zwentendorf}} {{reflist}} {{Nuclear power}} [[Category:Nuclear power plants in Europe]] [[Category:Buildings and structures in Austria]] [[Category:Lower Austria]]
