1. Entangled in the network of European uranium transports

    2,5 tons. They contain up to 12,5 tons of uranium hexafluoride. These are internationally standardized pressure vessels made of 16 mm thick steel, which are designed to withstand the enormous mechanical stress in a car accident or train accident. In addition, the transport containers are again surrounded by protective packaging, the so-called overpack. In the airtight container there is...

    They were all completely unaware that a highly dangerous transport of dangerous goods not only travels through Hamm, but also stops here for many hours. A malfunction or accident would have hit Hamm without any warning. There is no disaster prevention plan! The answer to question 6 admits that there is no disaster protection plan for Hamm. It's only for...

    is not covered by the “municipal right of petition according to Section 24 Paragraph 1 GO”. However, the citizens' initiative is of the opinion that the people in Hamm have the right to know what will be done to ensure their safety in the event of an accident and how they should then behave. With the obvious unwillingness to take up a legitimate and urgent citizen concern and to raise it...

    and how they ended up in the residential areas. An increasingly dense network of evidence suggests that there must have been an accident at both the GKSS research center on the Elbe and at Nukem, in which a fusion-fission hybrid reactor or a comparable device was probably destroyed. There is much to suggest that the accidents in September 1986 in the GKSS...

    This effect increases, and massive releases into the primary circuit occur at around 2500oC at the latest. Temperatures at which dangerous releases occur can be reached due to accidents in the core of all large and large high-temperature reactors without the graphite losing its mechanical consistency. The hint that core meltdowns are not possible with the HTR is...

The dangers in an accident, for example with a hydrogen car or with storage facilities in a garage or depot, are very great: "The extremely low ignition energy promotes spontaneous ignition..." (5). Consequently, the possibility...

Early on they suggested working on the development of new reactors with inherent safety that would limit the risks of a major accident to the interior of the plant. (...)
