But by now we've all heard something about it, or to put it another way, we've all heard something about it! Wikipedia Green Run The 'Green Run' experiment involved the release of a radioactive cloud from the Hanford Site military nuclear complex. Estimates are in the range of several 100 TBq of iodine 131 and even more cesium 133. The proportion of iodine 131 alone was 5500 curies; the...

Since then, the 300.000 radioactive fuel balls have been stored there in 152 castors. Now they are to be taken via the motorway to the interim storage facility in Ahaus, 170 kilometers away, where the nuclear waste from Hamm is already stored....
To bring calm to the debate... * Salzgitter | Konrad shaft | Nuclear waste storage Longer construction period Nuclear waste storage in Salzgitter will probably cost more Low and medium radioactive waste will soon be stored in the Konrad shaft. But after a delay in the schedule, the project becomes significantly more expensive. New calculations for the controversial nuclear waste repository in Salzgitter assume a significant...
The search for the best possible location for an underground repository extends the dangerous interim storage process by decades. The search is for the “best possible” location, a place for the highly radioactive legacies of the atomic age. The search has been going on for five years, using a “science-based and transparent process” that the federal and state governments had agreed on. Until 2031...

Motorway slip road from the Ahaus/Legden exit on the A31 to the city. We call for participation in order to advance the resistance against the absurd transfer of nuclear waste from the 152 castors with 300 highly radioactive fuel elements. There is also something new in this matter: In 000, the NRW state government ordered the evacuation of the current Castor camp in Jülich - the main reason:...

LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) from the USA. On a research trip through the production country, author Michael Höft brings frightening facts to light: the extraction of liquid natural gas leads to radioactive waste, poisoned rivers and massive climate pollution.

as well as the planned Castor transports Jülich-Ahaus. * October 7, 1957 (INES 5 | NAMS 4,6) Windscale/Sellafield nuclear factory, GBR A fire ignited plutonium and produced a very large amount of radioactive dust (1786 TBq), which, among other things, forced surrounding dairy farms to give up. (Cost approximately US$89,9 million) Nuclear Power Accidents The full extent of the accident and the errors in organization...
Period of 20 hours of gamma and neutron radiation... The number of people who received increased doses of radiation is given as 35 to 63. Three workers were exposed to particularly high levels of radioactivity of up to 17 sieverts. Around 300.000 residents were asked not to leave their homes.

2008 After completing a production process, three smaller collection tanks were transferred into a larger waste water tank. An unexpected chemical reaction occurred with the formation of radioactive iodine-131. Due to a defective measuring computer, this could slowly and unnoticed escape into the surrounding area via a chimney over a few days. When the problem was noticed,...
"No nuclear waste in Ahaus" to take part in the protest rally this Sunday, August 20th, at 14 p.m. at the "Mahner" in the Ahaus pedestrian zone.

Interim storage facility in Gorleben, Lower Saxony. According to the wishes of Landshut District Administrator Peter Dreier (Free Voters), there should only be one interim storage facility for radioactive nuclear waste in the Federal Republic in the future. To achieve this, the 16 interim storage facilities currently spread across Germany could be closed. This would also affect the Bella interim storage facility with the two switched off...

the first nuclear weapons test 'Trinity' and for 'Fat Man', the Nagasaki atomic bomb was produced and it was here in December 1949 that the insane experiment 'Green Run' took place, in which huge amounts of radioactive gas were blown into the wind to measure where it would come down again. Residents of the irradiated area didn't feel the effects until years later, when cancer rates...
