    South Africa and the Russian state-owned company Rosatom passed comprehensive training programs for 200 students in Russia, as well as the provision of specialist literature on the subject of nuclear energy. A broad-based nuclear propaganda offensive is also planned: “Raising local residents’ awareness of the use of advanced nuclear technologies in the...

  2. March 26, 2014 - THTR research in North Rhine-Westphalia continues!

    in Jülich At the Jülich Research Center, an experimental reactor was in operation for 20 years in which temperatures of over 1000° were generated using spherical fuel elements - the hope for safe nuclear energy. But the dream shattered after numerous safety deficiencies and incidents. In 1978, significant amounts of strontium 90 and tritium leaked from the reactor into soil and groundwater. Both can...

    report critically and in detail. - Is there a paradigm shift looming? The allegations are all the more serious because two of the four-member expert group were also supporters of nuclear energy. The results are therefore a slightly softened compromise, which does not make the statements themselves any less shocking. While the red-green NRW state government...

    – although the Federal Republic of Germany has supposedly said goodbye to nuclear power. An obvious contradiction. And although the red-green NRW state government also wanted to get out of nuclear energy, in 2005 it agreed to a significant expansion of nuclear capacities in the UAA. Another contradiction. The mountain of nuclear waste is growing despite the “exit” It is completely unsolved...

That is why the expansion of nuclear energy was pushed forward and close cooperation with the then Soviet Union was agreed since 1988. It This was followed in 1998 by an additional agreement that allowed for the construction of two Russian VVER pressurized water reactors...

    Here are the previous costs for the THTR Hamm: 2,045 billion euros construction costs + 2,390 billion euros research + 0,425 billion euros decommissioning and closure until 2009 (5) Nuclear energy is not only the most unsafe form of energy, but also the most expensive. The bill for the irresponsible experiments with the nuclear research reactors will be paid over the next decades...

    That means immediately shutting down all nuclear facilities here on our doorstep - including the Gronau uranium enrichment plant and the Duisburg nuclear waste conditioning plant.
