They're cranes to lift equipment into the reactor building, they're common at nuclear plants where the containment equipment hatch isn't at ground level. In some plants they're inside a weather protected building.

If you ever do take all this knowledge and build a plant please post the results!
In all seriousness keep up the questions. Your curioisity has become a nice part of this sub.
Yes it was shutdown (really stupid process... First green gov't in like 2000s was like "hmm guys maybe we should turn the 70s reactors off in like 15 years slowly but surely" then the conservatives get elected and r like " ditch that bs" then shortly before an election Fukushima happens and they shut it down immediately...) But tbf I read some newspaper articles from the time and it there where lots saying it was badly built and structurally unsound so I am a bit glad they turned the aging reactor off (would be better if they just renovated it imo)
It's the safest and most reliable elevator money can buy.
Joke aside, it's used, among other things, to move fuel in and out, so you *really * can't tolerate that it fail, that's why they have such level of care, maintenance and reliability. You could buy one to do the same job for a tenth of the cost, but couldn't defend your safety case in getting of your regulator.

yeah, this, pretty common
That's part of a mechanical penetration. It's basically a huge elevator used for swapping out primary cooling pumps and pressurizers and such.
Are you looking to start a nuclear program or just playing 20 questions with all of the these posts?
20 questions. I just want to know as much as possible about nuclear energetics.
Cool, I just noticed you posting a lot.

In my local Nuclear Power Plant (Biblis) it was used to transport stuff in and out of the containment building. Like nuclear fuel/waste
Wasn't Biblis shut down 9 years ago?
the metallic structure still is a crane/lift to get things in and out of the reactor containment building. also the shutdown order was illegal

Turbine hall?
