This is not a nuclear power plant, but a natural gas one: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gersteinwerk

The city of Hamm had a nuclear power plant in the 80s, but it was quickly shut down because of safety concerns and multiple incidents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THTR-300

In the short operational life span of THTR-300 from 1985 to 1989, with only 423 full-load operating day equivalents, 80 incidents were logged.

Nuclear power is really great.

Oh come on what is this argument, other than a gross generalisation?

The THTR-300 served as a prototype high-temperature reactor

This was one prototype reactor, which by the looks of it may have been managed by some incompetent people. Concluding from this that nuclear power is inherently unsafe, is like saying air travel is unsafe, because the 737 MAX fell out of the sky a few times.
