    USA, it must be assumed that almost all of the radioactive carbon C-14 in the waste in the USA would be released into the atmosphere. The atomic balls are supposed to be burned or gassed there in a risky process and C-14 cannot be filtered out. The drastic reduction in the volume of waste coming back to Germany will result in major environmental impacts...

On the other hand, we also see in this decision the court's response to our conduct of the case," said the convicted Hanna Poddig. With numerous applications, the defendants had tried in vain to get the court to deal with the dangers of uranium transport and...

    It also played a role that the THTR was already under construction and supposedly nearing completion. But that dragged on. It took longer and longer. Was there perhaps something that could still be done? The processes For this reason, we decided to take legal action against a total of 17 partial construction permits. A litigation group supported the 3 plaintiffs. We collected over a hundred thousand DM for the...

    spontaneously emit ionizing radiation. The nucleus transforms into another nucleus by emitting particles or changes its state by releasing energy. This conversion process is called 'nuclear decay' or 'radioactive decay'. What is 'ionizing radiation'? Radiation transports energy - starting from a radiation source. Ionizing radiation...

  7. What is low level radioactive radiation? INWORKS study

    Atomic nuclei convert themselves into other nuclei without external influence and thereby emit high-energy radiation (ionizing radiation), this property is called radioactivity. The process of nuclear transformation is called radioactive decay. The radioactive atomic nuclei are called radionuclides. Even when atomic nuclei are split, for example in the fuel rods of a...
