On the contrary, full-bodied press releases about new planned international collaborations with China and the USA give the impression that the PBMR is constantly moving forward. It is doubtful whether these collaborations will lead to the construction of a single PBMR in the next few years. The...

The following statements he made are also incorrect: “The ball-bed systems that are now under construction and in operation in South Africa, China, Japan and other countries show that we are not alone.” There is no reactor in South Africa. He prefers to keep quiet about it because it doesn't fit into his fictitious success story. With the...

    According to the SPD parliamentary group leader, it is very reassuring for those affected by cancer.

    Small modules are more expensive per megawatt of installed capacity than large ones. This is actually not an option because there are no fully developed modules. In principle, work on this is only being done in China and South Africa. In China, where I recently looked at such a system, I couldn't find anything that would indicate imminent series production. In South Africa the technology is...
