December 18, 2016 - Higher Regional Court rejects appeal - Unusually high judgment for anti-nuclear chaining action

In the summer of 2012, a chaining action and a climbing action blocked the railway line between Münster (Westphalia) and the uranium enrichment plant in Gronau. The OLG Hamm has now confirmed the unusually high penalties of 90 and 110 daily rates of the Münster district court for the chaining action.

While the proceedings because of the climbing action were discontinued after a short time, the two people who were chained at the time were convicted of "disrupting public operations" before the Steinfurt district court and on appeal before the Münster district court. The appeal filed against the judgment in December 2015 has now been rejected by the Hamm Higher Regional Court. The decision of the regional court, according to which the two chained people were sentenced to 90 and 110 daily rates of 15 euros each, i.e. 1350 euros and 1650 euros, respectively, is now final.

On November 19, 2016, the BUND NRW and the Nature and Environmental Protection Academy NRW held the seminar “Pebble bed reactors, thorium and transmutation: the last straws of the atomic lobby”, which was well attended by 35 participants. In this context, Horst Blume gave a lecture on the resistance against the THTR in Germany and South Africa, which we document here:

November 19, 2016 - Pebble bed reactors, thorium and transmutation: The last straws of the nuclear lobby

Resistance to the THTR in Germany and South Africa

BI Hamm is now over 40 years old and its history is rich in experiences and events. So the question arose as to which experiences I emphasize today and which I neglect.

In my lecture I will emphasize some local peculiarities, but also show how we have worked on international issues, especially South Africa, over the past 15 years.

Construction of the THTR began in 1971 when many of the founding members were too young to care about the subject. It was not until 1975 that some of us listened up when we heard from the farmers who were resisting a planned nuclear power plant in Wyhl without violence. At that time I was a member of the DFG / VK and we dealt with the topic of nuclear weapons and organized ourselves in a separate working group to prepare the foundation of a citizens' initiative against nuclear power plants ...

1. General remarks

The polluter pays principle is one of the three fundamental principles of environmental law in Germany and Europe. It states that the costs of preventing and eliminating environmental damage caused by economic activities are to be charged to the polluter. The aim of this principle is to prevent individual social actors from gaining economic advantages by passing the costs and risks arising from their activities on to society. The implementation of this principle is also intended to ensure that economic sectors whose economic costs exceed the economic benefits to be achieved cannot prevail over other solutions that are better from a societal perspective.

Action alliance Münsterland against nuclear facilities
Federal Association of Citizens' Initiatives Environmental Protection (BBU)

October 13, 2016 - Anti-nuclear opponents disappointed by green election program:

- no concrete statements on the decommissioning of uranium enrichment Gronau
- no concrete statements on uranium waste storage in Gronau
- No concrete statements about the Ahaus nuclear waste interim storage facility
- No concrete statements about the stop of nuclear transport in NRW

The anti-nuclear power initiatives in the Münsterland as well as the Federal Association of Citizens' Initiatives Environmental Protection (BBU) are disappointed with the draft of the election program of the NRW Greens. It is true that there is a general call for the withdrawal from uranium enrichment in Gronau, but there are no concrete statements as to how and when this should be achieved. Neither the unanimous closure decision of the state environment ministers from June nor the offer of talks by Federal Environment Minister Hendricks (SPD) in July is mentioned. A planned shutdown date is also missing and there is not a word in the draft of the election manifesto for the planned opening of the new uranium waste hall in Gronau in 2017 - a new large nuclear waste storage facility for North Rhine-Westphalia, the storage of which is not limited in time ...

May 18, 2016 - News about the THTR incident

Thirty years after Chernobyl and the incident in the thorium high-temperature reactor (THTR) Hamm-Uentrop, which became known a few days later on May 4, 1986, a contribution on the Wikipedia discussion page on THTR confirms the worst fears of the opponents of nuclear power plants.

What happened?

Only now did we discover Dr. Hermann Schollmeyer from March 1, 2015. Schollmeyer was the specialist commissioning manager of BBC AG Mannheim, responsible for the shut-off rods produced by this company, as well as for the five steam turbines including the measurement and control technology for the THTR in Hamm.

In the THTR, on May 4, 1986, Kugelbruch once again blocked reactor operation. What happened next is described by Schollmeyer on Wikipedia in section 34, control rods / absorber rods:

"The superfluous blowing out of the broken ball, the filter was already ordered (!), Into the 'Tschernobil cloud' was a decision of the then main operator, Dr. Daoud, which he carried out against every warning and tried to conceal due to a lack of specialist knowledge. "...

December 10, 2020 - Saturday, December 12.12th 14 p.m. - Vigil 'Am Seitenkanal' in the south of Lingen, in front of the fuel element factory

The reason is a unfortunately negative decision by the Hess. Administrative court in Kassel in the matter of fuel element exports from Lingen for Doel 1 and 2. The VGH does not see any suspensive effect for the action of a private person from Aachen against the FA exports and has allowed the operator EDF-Framatome / ANF to transport the fuel elements to Belgium despite ongoing main proceedings to be allowed to carry out the two scrap reactors. The transports can now start at any time - 5-6 truck transports can be expected within approx. Four weeks. Appeals against the decision of the second instance are not possible in the urgent procedure.

In our appeal for donations for the lawsuit against the fuel element exports, we recently pointed it out: The VGH in principle deprives us citizens of any individual legal protection based on the Atomic Energy Act. In the justification, the court is based on the beginnings of the Atomic Energy Act 1958 - Chernobyl and Fukushima do not take place, the nuclear power insecurity of Doel is ignored. There was also no decision on the legality of the export license (neither on representative actions). And the defendant Federal Office did not defend itself in principle. All in all, this is extremely sobering for 2020. The Frankfurt Administrative Court was much further ahead in its detailed opinion in October ...

According to information from the regional anti-nuclear power initiatives, the Federal Association of Citizens 'Initiatives Environmental Protection (BBU) and the doctors' organization IPPNW, the uranium enricher Urenco from Gronau is intensively preparing a second attempt for a new transport of uranium waste from the uranium enrichment plant in the Westphalian town of Gronau to the Russian one for next Monday, April 6th Novouralsk nuclear plant plans. The Russian transport ship Mikhail Dudin is now on its way to the transport port of Amsterdam, where it is due to arrive on Monday.

Meanwhile, protests against the uranium transport are growing. For example, Wolfgang Heuer, who is responsible for security in the city of Münster, asked the Urenco Group in writing yesterday, Thursday, to cancel the transport of nuclear waste.

Updated April 05, 2020

After a lawsuit before the administrative court in Münster:

- City of Münster approves protest against uranium transport

"Urenco's behavior in Corona times is irresponsible"

- Transport of uranium waste from Gronau to Russia expected on Monday morning

Tomorrow, Monday, there will be protest meetings against the impending transport of uranium waste from the Westphalian uranium enrichment plant in Gronau to the Russian Novouralsk nuclear plant. After opponents of nuclear power in Münster had filed a lawsuit against a blanket ban on gatherings before the Münster Administrative Court, discussions began among those involved in the proceedings. As a result, the city of Münster has now confirmed the registration for a vigil tomorrow, Monday, from 11 a.m. at the level of the freight station on Alfred-Krupp-Weg / corner of Roddestrasse. The participants in the assembly must wear face masks and keep a distance of 1,50 m from each other ...

November 16, 2017 - Questions to the NRW state government about the dismantling of the THTR Hamm

After its decommissioning in 1989, the THTR is in so-called decommissioning operation from 1997 to 2027, which costs several million euros each year. After twenty years - so now in 2017 - according to the agreements made at the time, the operator HKG should inform the NRW Ministry of Economic Affairs as the approval authority when and how the dismantling of the THTR should take place. So far nothing has become known to the public about this. Since financial aspects also play a role, the questions also go to the NRW Ministry of Finance ...

German ministries doubt the USA option and US authorities postpone environmental impact assessments several times

With regard to the export plans to the USA, the anti-nuclear power initiatives now see themselves as confirmed: their doubts about the lawful implementation of the castor exports, which they had substantiated with two legal opinions in September 2014, are now apparently being voiced by some employees, according to media reports shared by the responsible ministries ...
