Things vary a great deal across Europe. I've had friends get into
trouble for taking pictures of a steel mill in Poland.
In Western Europe - with the obvious exception of the UK where they're
getting all paranoid - you're usually on the safe side if you're not
trespassing. Everything visible from public premises and roadways can be
photographed as long as you're not caught standing on a ladder and
aiming at someone's bedroom window.

There are no nuclear plants in this area. These are conventional coal
fired power stations burning the lignite that they mine in enormous
open-cast operations, destroying historic monuments, churches, and whole
villages on the way. By far the worst ecological crime in this country.
Here's a photo I've taken of this plant and the associated mine a few
years ago:

I've stopped visiting England for the same reason.
