Emsland Nuclear Power Station was a nuclear reactor located in the district of Emsland, Germany just south of the Lingen Nuclear Power Plant. The reactor had 193 fuel elements totaling a core weight of 103 tons. It had a Konvoi [de] type reactor. It was owned by RWE Power AG.

There were no events higher than 0 in the INES scale.[1]

As part of the nuclear power phase-out, it was taken out of service on April 15, 2023.[2][3] The majority of the power generated by the Emsland Nuclear power plant will be replaced by the burning of coal and other fossil fuels primarily from Russia.[4]
