    not proven to be useful in practice. Most people who study nuclear technology see it that way.

    a ticking time bomb for centuries! Those responsible in Jülich, who are well supported by state money, have not only failed to develop a coherent “disposal concept” in the past, but are also making vehement efforts to sell their failed reactor concept on other countries. Instead of trying to undo the immense damage they have caused...

Facts that do not fit into the concept are hushed up. Now, under a CDU/FDP government, the VGB is again trying to promote and pay for the HTR line in the Federal Republic of Germany.

    It's clear how right they are. The High-Temperature Reactor Conflicts, Interests, Decisions 1991 by Ulrich Kirchner Using the development of the national concept of a high-temperature reactor (HTR), this volume shows as an example that the development of nuclear energy is by no means the result of rational planning. Rather, it turned out during the decision-making process that...

    PBMR?s known. Accordingly, the useful temperature of the reactor would be reduced from 900o C to 720o C, which could result in a certain safety gain. However, similar to the German concepts, water intrusion would add a dangerous potential for accidents. Above all, the new concept offers no advantages over conventional reactors and is far too expensive. For the old...

    Reactor Technology at Forschungszentrum Jülich published a study last year that raised considerable doubts about the safety of the previous operation of the AVR Jülich in particular and about the concept of pebble bed reactors in general. According to this publication, uncontrolled high temperatures (above I. I 00o C) appear to be primarily responsible for the strong radioactive...

    from the University of Stuttgart is concerned “Does the high-temperature reactor have a chance?”. In his opinion, so far the HTR has only been granted the status of a “reserve solution” if other nuclear concepts cannot meet the challenges. But if in the future there are cheaper safety concepts, more environmental compatibility and greater use of more thermally efficient systems...

In the period that followed, three Hammer citizens, with the support of the citizens' initiative, sued the THTR and also filed constitutional complaints...
