The international community has provided additional funds to support efforts to clean up the legacy of uranium mining in Central Asia. Remediation work will begin in 2019 at four sites in Kyrgyz Republic and Uzbekistan, but more funding is needed to address all high-priority sites in the region, according to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).

The makers behind "Forbidden Stories" want to make sure that these stories are published - and the journalists working on them don't have to fear for their lives...

The maintenance operation of the enclosed thorium high-temperature reactor (THTR) will last from 1997 to 2027.

Ten years ago, on October 17, 2008, the Committee for Economics, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and Energy of North Rhine-Westphalia confirmed the information given in the approval notice 7/12c, after the operators of the THTR had to inform the nuclear regulatory authority by the end of 2017 how long the maintain safe enclosure and when to start dismantling the reactor.

What's new?

Since nothing has been known to the public so far, we as a citizens' initiative environmental protection Hamm asked the Ministry for Economy, Innovation, Digitization and Energy NRW in detail (1) and received an answer after almost four months on February 7, 2018:

"According to the current state of planning, Hoch Temperatur-Kernkraftwerk GmbH (HKG), as the operator of the plant, intends to maintain the safe enclosure until 2027 and to begin preparing the plant for complete dismantling from 2028 onwards. (...) MWIDE has not yet received any applications for changes to existing nuclear licenses or for the dismantling of the THTR 300 ...

For work on 'THTR circular', 'reaktorpleite.de' and 'Map of the nuclear world' we need up-to-date information, energetic, fresh comrades-in-arms under 100 (;-) and donations. If you can help, please send a message to: info@reaktorpleite.de

Donation appeal

- The THTR circular is published by the 'BI Environmental Protection Hamm' and is financed by donations.

- The THTR circular has meanwhile become a much-noticed information medium. However, there are ongoing costs due to the expansion of the website and the printing of additional information sheets.

- The THTR circular researches and reports in detail. In order for us to be able to do that, we depend on donations. We are happy about every donation!
