In 1985, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1990 and 1998 the reactor produced the most net electricity for the respective year than any other reactor in the world. The plant is of the pressurized water reactor type, using four water based coolant cycles, kept under high pressure. About 80,000 people live within 10 km of the plant. The next big cities are Hanover, (over 500,000 people 50 km away), Hildesheim, (100,000 people at 35 km), Paderborn (140,000 people at 55 km) and Bielefeld, (330,000 people at 60 km) - a total of more than a million people within 60 km.
