The "Benecke report" for THTR Hamm and AVR Jülich
In 1988 Professor Jochen Benecke prepared a 261-page report on behalf of the Elektrowatt engineering company for the Minister for Economics, Medium-Sized Enterprises and Technology in North Rhine-Westphalia, which, because of its highly explosive content, was more than Hidden for twenty years became: "Criticism of the safety devices and safety concepts of the THTR 300 in Hamm and the Jülich experimental reactor (AVR)".
Benecke and his colleagues involved (Peter Breitenlohner, Dieter Maison, Michael Reimann, Erhard Seiler) attested that both the AVR and the THTR were prone to Chernobyl-like explosions in water ingress accidents.
Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) and AVR have not submitted any documents to the AVR expert group (2014) that refute Benecke's assessment, as the expert group expressly stated.
