Green Party in the parliament of Spain made a proposal to withdraw from his post as president of the State Council nuclear safety Maria Teresa Estevan Bole, who for months has not taken adequate measures to respect a number of serious accidents at nuclear power Vendelos-2 "under Tarragona. She also demanded a deep reform of this body, accusing him that he can not cope with the tasks entrusted to it.
As reported by the newspaper El Mundo, an MP from the "green" Joan Herrera also demanded that a nuclear power plant Vendelos-2 'was immediately taken away the license to operate, as it still has to sit idle because of serious defects in the cooling system reactor, and its launch could lead to significant problems.
Herrera insisted on the fact that Bol was summoned to parliament to answer MPs' questions and explaining their "inaction".
According to the head of the Spanish branch of Greenpeace, "Carlos Bravo, Nuclear Safety Council of Spain in the interests of power companies in every way hides the severity of the problems that exist in many Spanish nuclear power plants. Meanwhile, they are so serious that in early April, three of the nine stations simultaneously idle due to various technical problems.
In particular, said Bravo, the Nuclear Safety Council originally appropriated accident "Vendelos-2" zero risk, but then was forced to assign him the first level. But now the council is considering the possibility to assign it as required by the specialists, the third level. After an accident of this kind occurred in 1989 on the NPP Vendelos-1, it had to be permanently closed.
Guide, Greenpeace also asked the Ministry of Industry of Spain, demanding to withdraw from his post as president of the Council of Nuclear Safety Bole, which it accuses of not taking timely action to address the causes of permanent failures in the Spanish plant.

December 1978
Nuclear power plant Vandellos, Tarragona As a result of leakage of radioactive water from the reactor zone of 8 square kilometers of contaminated soil in the vicinity of the station.

Nuclear power plant Vandellos, Tarragona
Due to the explosive destruction of high-pressure turbine rotor were released and the ignition of hydrogen and its cooling oil, which led to the global fire in the turbine hall and the full decommissioning of reactor control systems. To avoid an uncontrolled nuclear reaction in the process of fire suppression reactor pit was flooded by sea water. In Catalonia, was declared a radiation alarm, but the massive release of radioactive products is avoided.
In March 2005, at the NPP Vandelos-II "in Tarragona, the reactor was disconnected due to water leaks in the cooling system, nuclear power plant Asco-I" as in Tarragona stopped due to failures in the main transformer.
April 2006 before nightfall, the autonomous government of Catalonia declared itself a high degree of anxiety in connection with a fire. The fact that the fire was moving toward located here's largest nuclear power Vandelos-2. Because of this, had to evacuate the settlement of a service that plant workers. Although "Vandelos-2" is now on the decision of the Supreme Council of Nuclear Safety in Spain once again stopped because of recurring to her grave fault in the cooling system of the reactor, however, if the fire will penetrate into the territory of the station, it can cause big problems.
"Vandelos-2 was built after 1989 is located not far from it as its predecessor" Vandelos-1 "during the fire and was closed permanently.
Fire at the station "Vandelos II (Vandellos II), owned corporation ANAV, appeared at 8. 45 am as a result of failures in the generator. At 10.30, when the technicians plant were convinced that the danger has passed, an alarm system was disabled . Despite the fact that the fire was minor and occurred outside the reactor hall, the station will be closed for several weeks.
Council for Nuclear Safety (Nuclear Security Council) said that at the time of the accident all the security systems worked reliably. Mayor Vandelos noticed that people did not even realize what happened. However, representatives of environmental groups Greenpeace and Ecologistas en Accion said that in the station about 10 am it was seen a huge cloud of smoke. The activists of these organizations have already asked the authorities to take away the licenses of three stations Corporation ANAV.
This is the third incident in a year at nuclear power plants of the corporation. Last April, one of those zakovakuatsiey entire city. And after the accident in November 2007, resulting in release of radiation occurred in the atmosphere, the company was fined ANAV .22 million
In May, the Council for Nuclear Safety of the country has already recommended to conduct an investigation as to why the Catalan station emergency cases are three times more often than the other six such facilities in the country. While the results of the investigation were not reported.
June 10, 2008 in Spain for the production of planned work has been completely shut down the station Asco-1. Asko on-1 in November 2007 spewed radiation, the incident management plant tried to hide for six months.
September 23, 2008 was stopped Nuclear Power Plant Asco I "in the Spanish province of Taragona in the north-east of the country due to oil leakage in one of the units.

July 20, 2009 was stopped Nuclear Power Plant Asco-I "in the province of Taragona (northeast Spain). There was an unplanned stop automatically after a spontaneously activated by two of the four channels for measuring the flow neytronov.V stopping station operates at 45% capacity, since it carried out maintenance work.

South Catalonia is not so rich in sights, like the north of the country, including this regard and the coast. Costa Dorada (Costa Dorada), as called Beaches Tarragona in Spanish, they are also the Costa Daurada (Daurada) in Catalan (translated as zolotoy Beach>), receives far less popular than the Costa Brava. No solitary coves are not here, but instead of picturesque rocks and pines Costa Brava beaches run into the plains of Tarragona field (Camp de Tarragona) and almost continuous built-up urban interspersed with heavy industry. In particular this applies to Salou and the surrounding resorts of the south of Tarragona - this is precisely Kosta Dorada> that sell Russian travel agency. Particularly noticeable odor of hydrogen sulfide from BASF Plant and port of Tarragona itself. But with all the reservations Costa Dorada has one undeniable advantage for families with children. The name of this plus - Port Aventura, the biggest amusement park in this part of Europe.
Tarragona - an industrial city, where among other things, are Marine oil platforms and petrochemical complex to produce propylene, styrene, complex alcohols and other derivatives of oil. Permanent problems with the environment as there are none, but such proximity is a factor in increased risk to nearby beaches (beaches in La Pineda Salou and in the first place). One of the scandals associated with it, erupted in July 2001, when due to a leak when unloading a tanker beaches of Pineda and Salou were contaminated with petroleum products, and within two days of swimming there was forbidden. Beaches and water, of course, instantly cleared, but the blow to the prestige has suffered significant.
September 1989. Because of damage to the hose while unloading 100 tons of fuel from the tanker "Chevron" in the port of Tarragona, about 20 thousand tons were in the water and led to massive contamination of the six surrounding beaches.
July 2001. Beaches Cambrils, Salou and Vila-Seca (Catalonia) were contaminated vledstvie leak of about 700 liters of fuel oil during unloading at the port of Tarragona Libyan tanker "Tromso Trust".
