    bluntly: "A clear determination of the aerosol activity release on May 4, 5 is not possible." On the very day of the incident, the operators had switched off the measuring device several times for hours in order to supposedly reset the clock. What a coincidence! The enormous audacity of the operators in this "measurement strip scandal" agitated people in the world for months in 1986...

    They specifically made it impossible to find evidence of ball breakage and contamination of the environment that could be measured at the exhaust chimney. (...)

    more balls than intended. There was a lot of radioactive ball fragments and graphite dust that had to be vacuumed away. During the accident in May 1986, the measuring devices were switched off during this time and one of the biggest scandals in German nuclear power plant history occurred. The radioactive “release rate” could only be roughly “estimated” with the THTR. The operators of the THTR...
