Two cooling towers at the site of a former nuclear plant in south-western Germany have been demolished with a series of spectacular explosions. <br /> <br />The timing of the demolition at the Philippsburg power plant near Karlsruhe was kept secret in fear of potential crowds gathering amid the coronavirus pandemic. <br /> <br />The plant’s two reactors were shut down in 2011 and 2019 as part of Germany’s efforts to transition from nuclear power.
