The José Cabrera Nuclear Power Station (also known as Zorita^[1]) was a nuclear power station in Almonacid de Zorita, 70 kilometres (43 mi) east of Madrid, Spain.

The power plant consisted of a single PWR of 160 MWe, built by Westinghouse Electric Company. It was operated by Unión Fenosa.^[2]

History[]

Construction of the power station started in 1964. It was commissioned in 1968, and it operated from 1968 until 2006. In 2006, it was closed by ministerial order.^[2]

On 11 February 2010, Unión Fenosa transferred the site's ownership to Enresa, a Spanish company responsible for decommissioning the power station. Enresa planned to clear the site by the end of 2015.^[2]

2003 incident[]

The Spanish Nuclear Safety Council has investigated the plant's deficient safety system and a missing screw that prevented the reactor from resuming operations after a month-long refueling operation in December 2003.^{[citation needed]}
