and whether the risk of collapse can be averted by then is still unclear. Those in Hamm who thought after the THTR decommissioning in 1989 that they could put the issue of nuclear power and its consequences aside forever will probably experience many unpleasant surprises! (According to information from Neues Deutschland and Junge Welt from March 30, 3. Further detailed information...
into the public discussion. problems. There are enough in South Africa. Of the 5,6 million people with AIDS, half a million die every year (1). Who else thinks about the radiation danger of a nuclear power plant that would go into operation in a few years? Wouldn't it be more obvious to be more concerned about the very high crime rate and the 2004 people murdered in 20.000? And...

"In a country rich in uranium deposits, it is natural that we use this resource for peaceful and economic purposes." The VDI article highlights the importance of the suppliers for the construction of the nuclear power plant: "Apart from the spherical fuel, PBMR will not manufacture a single part of the system and for Contribute reactor. (...) One of the important suppliers is, for example, the Japanese...

With hydrogen technology, the nuclear industry is trying to give itself a CO2-free, positive image and, through this fraudulent label, divert funding from the field of renewable energies back to nuclear power research. How many tens of millions of euros in covert funding have already been spent in the Federal Republic of Germany in recent years is detailed on three pages on our homepage...

because the energy supply is collapsing more and more often. With dramatic consequences for the economy – and for the Football World Cup in South Africa in 2010! The only two nuclear power plants in the southern hemisphere were built by the French company Framatome. The CASTOR containers for the nuclear waste were supplied by the Society for Nuclear Containers (GNB) from Essen and...
2003. In June 2017 we exceeded the threshold of more than 2.000 pages with over 500 visits per day for the first time. Disclaimer: Since I have placed links on a wide variety of sites on the topic of nuclear power - including on homepages of nuclear power advocates and power plant operators, whose intentions I really do not approve of - I declare that I have no influence whatsoever on the design...

to address certain grievances and to look for alternatives. When the Hamm Environmental Protection Citizens' Initiative was founded in February 1976 after a long preliminary phase to prevent the second planned nuclear power plant in Hamm (the THTR had been under construction for almost five years), the media reported very little critical of nuclear power plants. Even on the local pages of the "Westphalian...

is called the North Intermediate Storage Facility (ZLN). The scope and period of time have so far been limited: 6.700 tons have so far been able to be stored there for up to two years. And only nuclear waste from the eastern Lubmin and Greifswald nuclear power plants. In the meantime, the EWN has applied to extend the so-called "buffer storage" to 10 years, to increase the storage capacity to 15.000 tons and also to remove nuclear waste from...

Formulas about the alleged nuclear phase-out and the intended application of German safety standards abroad are repeated. Why should there be a nuclear phase-out in Germany if the nuclear power plants here are so safe? The ministry does not respond to our specific criticism with a single syllable and does not comment on our very modest demand that the South African...

continued research into the atomic and hydrogen bombs. However, the decades of civil-military research carried out by this “Society for Nuclear Energy Utilization in Shipbuilding and Shipping” (GKSS) directly next to the Krümmel nuclear power plant still has an impact today. As a result of secret "special nuclear experiments" on the GKSS site, a covered-up accident occurred in September 1986...
Tens of millions of euros have been spent on this. Hydrogen is a secondary energy source that can be produced in various ways. Alternative energy is just as possible here as nuclear power. In Germany, the Karlsruhe (FZK) and Jülich research centers are intensively involved in hydrogen research. The FZK writes in its magazine “Nachrichten”: “Hydrogen is not...

Laurenz Meyer 130.000 euros (See 'Laurenz Nimmersatt' in the Spiegel)... The operators of nuclear plants are still doing what they do best, very cleverly. They operate their nuclear power plants as cheaply as possible, pay their politicians as well and are true masters of disinformation. 'The politicians' (I know: not all of them are like that...) act, usually a bit clumsily, as if...
The Arguments The Facts The Incident The End!? What was it like back then with the THTR? by Werner Neubauer At the beginning of the 1980s, an acquaintance who was involved in the local 'anti-nuclear power movement' asked me if I would like to come along to a demonstration against the THTR. My 'lust for politics' was very limited and I never had the time anyway...
