Garching - Nuclear Egg
The Atom-Ei glows orange in the sunset light. This is the outer shell of the FRM (Forschungsreaktor München, research reactor Munich).
The FRM was the first nuclear technology installation in the Federal Republic Germany, completed in 1957. The shape of the Atom-Ei is also a prominent feature on the coat of arms of the town of Garching.
The old reactor was decommissioned in 2000 and replaced by the Forschungs-Neutronenquelle Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (aka FRM II, research reactor Munich II), built nearby.
