Truck from Jülich to the interim storage facility in Ahaus. But further nuclear transports with highly radioactive nuclear waste are pending: a total of seven Castor containers with vitrified waste from the British plutonium factory in Sellafield will probably be stored in the Brokdorf interim storage facility in 2025. The Federal Office for the Environment has received a corresponding application from the Federal Company for Intermediate Storage (BGZ)...
Site of more than 200 km2, largest nuclear industrial plant in the Soviet Union. Between 1945 and 1948, five nuclear reactors were built at this site between Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk to produce plutonium for the Soviet nuclear weapons program. The plant was continuously expanded until 1987, when production was stopped and operations were gradually phased out. From 1949 to 1956...
