    = Assessment of the stability of 'coated particles' (in HTR fuel balls, RB) in hypothetical accidents using experiments on fast transients. Academy of Sciences = process and component technology as well as safety improvements in nuclear facilities. Horst Blume Notes/Sources: 1 Lothar Hahn: "Assessment of domestic and foreign concepts for...

    Unlike the coolant water, it could be used not only to generate electricity, but also as so-called process heat - for example for coal liquefaction or for other energy-intensive processes in the chemical industry. Relatively small pebble bed reactors should not only provide electrical power in metropolitan areas, but also district heating. As “particularly safe and...

    The so-called '4th generation reactors' can come into commercial use in 20 to 30 years. In the longer term, they are intended to complement the existing reactor lines and open up new fields of application such as process heat, drinking water production from seawater and hydrogen production. (...) In Germany, around 6.000 employees work in this field (energy technology, RB) for...

    However, as the manufacturers assured, the reactor itself was two years away from starting operations. And it's been that way for twelve years. It wasn't so much our demonstrations and court cases that caused problems for him, but rather breakdowns and now rust. This situation couldn't last forever. At some point they would actually want to put it into operation. What then? In the information service...

    to be very close to the meat pots in the future. You are now the environment minister. Example. When the apartheid dictatorship was overthrown, there was no long-term, bloody civil war. The transformation process towards a parliamentary democracy was accompanied by a reconciliation process between the population groups that had been divided in hostility for a long time. The quite painful...

    is based on German HTR technology (...). Just like in the former fuel element production at NUKEM or HOBEG, the production of the spherical fuel elements takes place in four essential process steps: + Production of the particles + Coating of the particles + Production of the graphite matrix + Production of the spherical fuel elements The contract that has now been signed includes the detail...

    But the CIA kept its protective hand over him. Instead, the engineer was transferred - and was warned: a year later he did not return from a trip to Pakistan. The Netherlands only tried him in absentia in 1983.

    Hydrogen with renewable energies still takes 25 years. "It would be much quicker using the high-temperature reactor" (WA January 07.01.2006, XNUMX). This process would produce not only electricity, but also process heat and "environmentally friendly" hydrogen as fuel for future vehicles, the "experts" from Jülich promised her, to whom she promptly responded “stronger support” (Rheinische Post...

    Nuclear power plants (for example construction line 80) made our committed statements urgently necessary. There were ongoing reports about security problems with the THTR, the lengthy processes against its commissioning and the disaster protection plan. Contributions about alternative energies, coal refining or solidarity with Gorleben already highlighted the narrow...

  12. History, what was it like back then with the THTR 300 thorium high-temperature reactor in Hamm-Uentrop

    katastrophale Zunahme fehlgeleiteter Kräfte ist vorhanden und wird weiterhin bestehen. Wir dürfen es nie zulassen, dass die Macht dieser Kombination unsere Freiheiten oder unsere demokratischen Prozesse gefährdet. Wir sollten nichts als gegeben hinnehmen. Nur wachsame und informierte Bürger können das angemessene Vernetzen der gigantischen industriellen und militärischen Verteidigungsmaschinerie...
