Central nuclear de Lemóniz

Historical milestone · Lemoiz, Plentzia-Mungia, Bizkaia

Nuclear power plant whose construction was begun by Iberduero in 1972 at the Basordas cove. ETA, opposed to the plan to build nuclear plants along the Basque coast, murdered nine people connected with the works between 1978 and 1982, among them the engineers José María Ryan (January 1981) and Ángel Pascual Múgica (5 May 1982). The plant was halted, having never entered service, by the nuclear moratorium of the 1983 National Energy Plan, approved on 28 March 1984.
