to be. The country does not yet have any commercially operated nuclear power plants, but operates a small experimental reactor with a thermal output of 18 MW, the Maria research reactor, which went critical on December 1974, 30. This currently works with only two thirds of the power. Uranium mining was carried out in the southwest of the country until 1968. The planning of new nuclear power plants...

Compact reactors were implemented because the construction costs cannot be covered by electricity sales. The German-Canadian company Dual Fluid wants to build an experimental reactor in Rwanda as its first project. The Russian Akademik Lomonosov currently comes closest to the idea of SMRs. Even if the technology were ready for the market, there would still be a few years of development time...

Protests announced. 152 nuclear waste containers, so-called castors, are to be brought to the Ahaus interim storage facility. The containers contain 300.000 spherical fuel elements from the decommissioned Jülich experimental reactor. There are protests against this in both Jülich and Ahaus. Jülich's mayor Axel Fuchs rejects the transports, as does his counterpart Carola Voß in Ahaus. The city of Ahaus has...

On December 20, 1951, the American experimental reactor Arco (Idaho) generated electricity for the first time. Two years later, on December 8, 1953, President Dwight D. Eisenhower announced the Atoms for Peace program at the UN. He spoke of a...

As a result of the explosion of the moderator tank, larger amounts of radioactive substances were released in the reactor, and radioactive gases escaped into the open air. Fortunately, the experimental reactor was able to be evacuated in time. The cavern with radioactive material was initially sealed. The clean-up work only began years later and lasted until 1973.

Development and construction of the experimental reactor in Jülich and the THTR 300 in Hamm-Uentrop were, as is well known, extremely difficult. Numerous unsolved technical problems plagued the scientists. There was an ongoing...
