and blockages at the THTR, which, together with further incidents, commissioning problems and enormous cost increases, led to its closure in 1989. The THTR, as an important component of Generation IV reactors, is still promoted as particularly safe by the nuclear industry worldwide, despite the bad experiences in Hamm. The impending commissioning of the HTR in China has been discussed for many...

of the USA. It has been in operation since 2006 and went into full production in 2010. In which areas are reactors with TRISO fuel elements used? In Generation IV reactors and also in light water reactors. Contracts have already been concluded with the US Department of Defense (!). X-Energy emphasizes that TRISO is a “very robust fuel that is well suited for military...

trumpeted schedules were waste. Little progress has been made in the last 20 years and, according to the OECD, it will be another 20 years before commercial Generation IV reactors can be used. Things are progressing very slowly. The first demonstration systems are expected to be completed sometime between 2030 and 2040... Search the...
Nov 19, 2016 - Pebble bed reactors, thorium and transmutation: The last straws in the nuclear lobby
Distributed leaflets in which we complained about the lack of engagement with Generation IV and the EU funding of the HTR line. Over the last 12 years I have written many articles on the EU, Euratom, Generation IV reactors and HTR development. Here is a small selection in chronological order: 2004: EU funding for HTR research...

The Jülich Research Center ensures a permanent flow of know-how towards Asia. No wonder that “Nuklearia”, as a nationwide active non-profit lobbying association for HTRs and Generation IV reactors, at their annual meeting on October 29, 2016 Jochen Michels presented the new old development full of hope with the lecture “Status of THTR development in China” (15). celebrates. - “Nuclearia” has...

Nuclear power plant variant to capitalize on this catastrophe in the truest sense of the word.

the realization of the thorium miracle reactor would have been completed long ago. And now the German government should finally get more involved in research and development of Generation IV reactors. That's the message behind it.

Although it was almost a year ago, it was only now that a renowned news magazine picked up this message that it gained more momentum in the election campaign. In the opinion of the black-yellow coalition in North Rhine-Westphalia, the THTR and the Generation IV reactors are particularly worthy of support and, given a similar party-political constellation at the federal level, can bring about the renaissance of nuclear power in...
