Nuclear family playgroundA merry-go-round turns inside the cooling tower of the former nuclear power plant in Kalkar, Germany, near the border with the Netherlands, on May 28. The facility was constructed from 1977 to 1986 at a cost of more than $5 billion, but never operated as a nuclear power plant. It was converted to an amusement park called Wunderland Kalkar. The park receives about 600,000 visitors a year and employs more than 500 people during the busy season. |
