g/cm³ and is therefore an extremely heavy and hard metal. Bullets made from this material have enormous penetrating power. When the armor is penetrated, the frictional heat creates temperatures of 3 - 5000 degrees Celsius and a cloud of highly toxic, radioactive, highly flammable uranium dust, which immediately sets everything on fire. People and material burn up, fuel and...
March 26, 2014 - THTR research in North Rhine-Westphalia continues!
in Jülich was a failure. Research disaster: high-temperature reactor in Jülich At the Jülich Research Center, an experimental reactor was in operation for 20 years in which temperatures of over 1000° were generated using spherical fuel elements - the hope for safe nuclear energy. But the dream shattered after numerous safety deficiencies and incidents. In 1978, significant amounts of strontium 90 and...

Iodine and noble gas nuclides, which are problematic in conventional reactors. The positive picture becomes cloudy when other problem nuclides such as cesium, silver or strontium are considered, which can slowly penetrate intact barriers of the spherical fuel element even at normal operating temperatures. This effect, called diffusion, does not exist in conventional fuel elements. Those among the...

this type of reactor is shaken. Dr. Moormann has revealed that the experimental reactor in Jülich, which was finally shut down in 1988, was insufficiently protected against elevated operating temperatures in the reactor core during normal operation for years. Timely direct temperature measurements did not appear possible; Although lengthy measuring procedures had been developed by 1974, they were inadequate until 1986...

The dismantling tests of the small 46 MWth (or 13 Mwel) THTR research reactor at the Research Center Jülich, which cost hundreds of millions of euros, are currently showing that, for example, due to higher temperatures and higher pressure, different problems and accident possibilities occur than with light water reactors. Rainer Moormann as a scientist involved in the dismantling of the Jülich...

HTR Research - The published and true costs
"In Germany, approximately 1.000 Mg (that's 1 million kilograms or 1.000 tons!) of irradiated graphite must be disposed of as radioactive waste. These essentially come from the 2 high temperatures AVR and THTR. Studies of the AVR's C-14 inventory have showed that the disposal of the ceramic AVR components alone accounts for around 3/4 of the approved C-14 inventory of the Konrad final repository in...

According to a scientific analysis, the research reactor has been operating at temperatures that were far too high for years and may have narrowly avoided catastrophe.
