At the time of the reunification of the German states in October 1990, there were eight nuclear power reactors of the Russian pressurized water type (VVER 440/230, 213) on the Greifswald site. Four units were in operation, one was under startup conditions, one was ready for startup, and two were under construction. Initially, the operator and different utilities investigated the possibilities of continuing operation of at least some of the units in Greifswald after necessary modifications, mainly in safety-relevant areas, especially in instrumentation. The possibilities of using the site for new nuclear or conventional power plants have also been investigated. However, at the end of 1991, the new owner decided to decommission and dismantle all plants.
