Construction began in the mid-1970s. In July 1977, a protester was killed during a demonstration against the project, and on 18 January 1982 a rocket attack hit the unfinished containment building. The reactor first reached criticality in 1985 and was connected to the grid on 14 January 1986. Power production stopped in December 1996 for maintenance and did not resume. In June 1997 the government announced permanent closure, and a decree made it official in December 1998. The last fuel was removed from the reactor on 18 March 2003.
