Nuclear power station
Cattenom is well known for its nuclear power plant, which was built from 1987 to 1992. An artificial lake has been introduced to cool the four nuclear reactors. The creation of this lake has led to the flooding of Ouvrage Kobenbusch, part of the Maginot Line.

gollark: Isentropic with water doubles it!
gollark: I want a mod where you can actually do this, somehow.
gollark: It's technically better than Minecraft itself (apart from the limited world size, I guess), but somehow lacking.
gollark: Yep, you can use fireworks and have been able to since elytræ were introduced.
