which did not report it to the IAEA as required under the Safeguard Agreements. This includes the conversion of uranium and its enrichment as well as the separation of plutonium. Even in recent years, the inspectors in Vienna had obviously been fobbed off with false information. At the end of 2002 and in April 2003 the nuclear agency wanted to...

creates a sponge from the salt dome and mobilizes the radioactive substances even further. On July 5, 2008, a thousand people demonstrated against this. According to official information, 102 tons of uranium, 87 tons of thorium and 11,6 kg of plutonium are in the Asse shaft. Thorium is a clear indication that radioactive substances from the THTR Jülich were also stored. The pebble bed reactor of...

looks different. No military use possible? The current non-proliferation problems with Iran and North Korea clearly show that with a global expansion of nuclear power, plutonium production would increase dramatically. The amount of plutonium to be transported would increase sharply and increasingly remote areas would have to be secured. If South Africa implements their PBMR as announced...

Additional transport routes would put even more people at risk. A safe final storage facility is also not yet in sight. There are still 1,6 kilograms of nuclear fuel in the reactor (3). That means plutonium and uranium. And not just in the reactor core, but also in the pipe system for the fuel balls. Since no nuclide atlas was created despite our demands for decommissioning, we know...
currently in a warehouse in Ahaus and starting to rust. As is well known, the THTR was shut down in 1989. Construction costs around 2,1 billion euros. There are now 1,5 kg of nuclear fuel with plutonium stored in the reactor. The “decommissioning operation” costs 5,6 million euros annually. The dismantling costs of the AVR Jülich, which is twenty times smaller, are currently around half a billion euros. And at THTR...

the decisive accident in which radioactive substances were released from the reactor. They may also include small radioactive spheres (PAC spheres consisting of plutonium, americium and curium), which could have left the reactor after the destruction of around 8.000 large spherical fuel elements. Since undamaged microbeads are still surrounded by a protective layer...

An explosion occurred in the GKSS on September 12, 1986, during which there was probably a release of small radioactive spheres containing uranium, thorium and plutonium. They have a diameter of less than half a millimeter. Exactly these tiny spheres, which are barely visible to the eye, are also part of the fuel element balls...

applies to the thorium high-temperature reactor (THTR), of which a prototype, the THTR-300, is under construction in Uentrop near Hamm. These plans are kept top secret. The THTR uses plutonium or highly enriched uranium as fuel. Of course, Brazil doesn't want to admit that something like this is planned, as it goes against the promises of never enriching more than 3% and not using plutonium...

Laufents (NRG Petten, Netherlands) discussed the nuclear fuel cycle strategies of the European Pressurized Water Reactor (EPR) with the PBMR in her presentation. The latter has clear disadvantages when destroying the plutonium: "However, a larger amount of highly active waste is produced by the PBMR with high-burnup fuel than in the case of the EPR with MOX or inert matrix fuel...

To survive, we wanted to know whether the HKG would reassess the risk after the attacks. In addition to the radioactively irradiated system components, there are still 1,6 kg of plutonium in the reactor. While many politicians never tire of emphasizing that nothing is the same as it was before 11/9, the HKG confidently proclaims that things are as they have always been - namely...

be stored directly next to the nuclear power plants without having to provide evidence of a final storage facility. And the plutonium returning from reprocessing plants in France and Great Britain is allowed to be "burned" in German nuclear power plants, although this leads to more unstable reactor operation.
