Construction started in [[1967]] and was very much a national spectacle. This was during [[History_of_Burgundie#The_Great_Tumult|The Great Tumult]] so the positive distraction was much needed. In [[1974]] a minor earthquake became a major catastrophe as the shifting ground caused the shielding around the reactor to crack and a moderate leak developed. The reactor was shut down and a 150 square kilometer area had to be cordoned off to contain the release of radioactive material. 340,000 people were forcibly evicted within the first week of the disaster but not before many of them had already been exposed to high doses of radiation. It is estimated that 1,280 people died of exposure within the first 10 years of the disaster and innumerable others died of or are currently battling various radiologic diseases like cancer as a result of their exposure. The XII Engineer Battalion of the II Infantry Legion and the L Combat Engineer Regiment of the IV Field Sustainment Brigade were both mobilized to help the immediate response. Both units sustained losses of over 30% on the first three days of the containment effort. Additional units were activated to facilitate the response and evacuation, but none suffered as badly as the first two. The responders from the XII Engineer Battalion and the L Combat Engineer Regiment were awarded the Hero of the Burgoignesc Empire and the units were given the Ribbon of Selfless Service.

The 150 square kilometer exclusion zone was home to 24 municipalities in two {{wpl|raion}}. The largest community, the adjacent town built for the workers and dependents of the plant, Sedane Centrale, home to 85,530 people at the time of the accident remains as a ghost town and has been a favorite for urban explorers since the 1990s. The area has been under the control of the [[Burgoignesc Security Forces#Emergency_Management_Agency_of_Burgundie|Emergency Management Agency of Burgundie]] since the disaster. The security for the zone is delegated to the Nuclear Ordnance Security Group of the [[National Gendarmerie of Burgundie]], colloquially named the' 'Nuclear Guard'', it is a specially outfitted unit that operates entirely in {{wpl|NBC_suit|NBC}} gear and, of late has made good use of drone technology. They are often the proving ground for new [[Burgoignesc Security Forces|Burgoignesc military]] drone technology and have provided the service to other international robotics concerns as well. The team has done extensive research on improving the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] response to radiologic incidents and the decontamination processes. In the last 10 years, they have increased their efforts in the areas of dry decontamination and the resulting lessons have been adopted by all levels of government, first responders, and first receivers across [[Burgundie]].

In [[2004]], [[O’Shea Container Shipping]] (later transferred to [[O'Shea Operation Management Services]]) purchased 50 square kilometers of the land and is using it to develop Radioactive Removal Services (RRS) technologies.
