be terminated. The participants expressly called for the immediate shutdown of all uranium enrichment plants, as their sole purpose is to continue operating nuclear power plants and building atomic bombs. In Germany, the multinational Urenco Group operates a uranium enrichment plant in Gronau. Today's uranium conference is an important contribution to cross-border networking...
Entangled in the network of European uranium transports
The uranium ore that occurs essentially consists of the industrially meaningless uranium 238 and contains only 0,7 percent uranium 235, from which fuel elements for nuclear power plants or nuclear material for atomic bombs are made. Therefore, the heavy metal must be removed from the uranium ore and then uranium 235 must be separated from uranium 238. As long as both isotopes are in solid form, a...
Uranium enrichment only makes sense if you a) believe in the future of nuclear power and/or b) have military ambitions. Urenco centrifuge technology is blamed for the construction of the Pakistani atomic bomb, which has now also found its way to Iran. In other words: If you want to phase out nuclear power, you must first shut down the uranium enrichment plants. But red-green has...

“The integration of military production with the civilian use of nuclear technology was achieved” (p. 782). An embellished description of the fact that nuclear power and the production of the atomic bomb cannot be separated. As early as 1986, supply contracts were concluded with Framatome (France) for the delivery of the second nuclear power plant in China near Hong Kong. A comprehensive...

to increasingly expand nuclear power. Significantly, both countries today defend themselves against “discriminatory” treatment of Iran because of the uranium enrichment plant (2). For a “good” reason: the atomic bomb must always be taken into account in the supposedly peaceful use of nuclear power. Argentina and Brazil, like Iran, have strong nuclear power ambitions and all three...

Uranium hexafluoride (U-6) is. URENCO has become a serious threat to world peace in recent decades and is partly responsible for the fact that we are now on the threshold of the use of atomic bombs by terrorists and dictatorial states. While this responsibility of URENCO is being discussed on a broad level in the Netherlands, the public perception of this...

Iron Bite. Tax funds would not be used. Eisenbeiß admitted that plutonium would also be produced in the reactor “to a certain extent.” The material is highly toxic and can be used to build atomic bombs. Nevertheless, the material is kept safe because South Africa has joined the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and is therefore subject to strict international controls....
The resulting plutonium seems almost impossible to us. Who can then prevent the construction of a 'dirty bomb', i.e. the addition of radioactive material or even the construction of an atomic bomb? The small reactors in underdeveloped countries also make excellent targets for terrorist attacks. It is particularly to be feared that, as in Hamm-Uentrop, an additional...

War opponents (DFG/VK) - which was also the sponsor when our citizens' initiative was founded in 1975 - you will certainly be interested to know that with the planned HTR, atomic bombs can be built worldwide, that plutonium can be diverted particularly easily and that tritium production is not subject to any international control is subject to (see in detail the enclosed...

The Society for Nuclear Research in Karlsruhe and the partially state-owned Essener Steinkohle-Electrification AG (STEAG) stood out and at the end of the development South Africa was in possession of several atomic bombs! Hermes guarantees for German exports have been gladly given by every German government in recent decades and a large part of the loans went back to ESKOM. Also the...

kept relatively small (e.g. like a laboratory facility). A spent fuel element made from low-enriched uranium 235 contains approximately 0,1 g of plutonium. Consequently, the material for an atomic bomb could theoretically be obtained by reprocessing 50.000 spent fuel balls, that is, at a throughput of 1000 balls per day in less than two months. This path is under...

Kahn, the “father of the Pakistani bomb” – in the USA embassy in Pretoria! (...) With the help of the USA, Israel, France and probably also Germany, South Africa had set up its own atomic bomb production, which was carried out before the regime handed over power to the first black government in 1994. But because the West didn't trust the "blacks," neither...

unmarked spherical fuel elements are particularly handy and can be exchanged unnoticed for dummy elements. The radioactive material for an atomic bomb can be produced within two months of operation. The radioactive tritium produced at the HTR line is particularly important for increasing the explosive power of nuclear bombs and is not subject to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and...

ends up on the "Axis of Evil", the Düsseldorf state government sees the expansion of the UAA as pure economic development. Not a word is said about the fact that the "father of the Pakistani atomic bomb" once worked as an intern at the operating company Urenco and made the construction of atomic bombs possible using Urenco technology). The military side of uranium enrichment is kept secret. Matthias...

Sheik Rashid Ahmed on Thursday in Islamabad. Ahmed again ruled out any questioning of Khan by foreign or international investigators. Khan is considered the 'father of the Islamic atomic bomb'.

who were involved in the military nuclear program as accomplices of the racist regime, have in recent years participated in a global trade in nuclear technology together with the Islamist and "father of the Pakistani atomic bomb" Abdul Qadeer Khan. They are now being tried (12). Nothing is really certain. If South Africa builds high-temperature reactors and...
