Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant

Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant
Visaginas, Lithuania (LT)
Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant is a two-unit RBMK-1500 nuclear power station in Visaginas, Lithuania. It is named after a larger nearby town Ignalina. Unit #1 was closed in December 2004, as a condition of Lithuania's entry into the European Union; the plant is similar to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in its lack of a robust containment structure. The remaining unit, as of 2006, supplied about 70% of Lithuania's electrical demand. Unit #2 is tentatively scheduled for closure in 2009. Proposals have been made to construct another nuclear power plant at the same site.

The similarity to Chernobyl led to this plant being used as a filming location in the 2019 miniseries of the same name
