Left: the reactor at Brokdorf with the Elbe River in the foreground. We would
think well within range of a North Sea tsunami. The single 1440 Megawatt
pressurized water reactor was the target of large protests in the 1970s and 1980s.
It has been operational since 1986, but scheduled to be shut down in 2018. It is
not clear that, given the extensive development along the Elbe, any evidence of
historical floods would remain. Germany was not damaged by the North Sea
(storm) flood of 1953, but was hammered by the North Sea Flood of 1962
(Hamburg image at right).
