    A senior employee has been providing targeted information about dangers in the facility for months. Apparently the employees of the alternative Darmstadt Öko-Institut also received a hint. At the beginning of May, its experts determined during measurements near the reactor that three quarters of the radiation - a total of 35000 becquerels per square meter - came from the THTR itself, only the rest from...
