This emerges from a new study carried out by the Ecological-Social Market Economy Forum (FÖS) on behalf of the eco-energy cooperative Greenpeace Energy. This sum includes both government subsidies and electricity sales prices as well as external costs. "No...

A broad-based nuclear propaganda offensive is also planned: “The awareness of local residents about the use of advanced nuclear technologies in the energy industry and other sectors is to be increased and public acceptance of the use of nuclear energy is to be increased” (4).

1988 - The "Benecke report on the THTR
The “Benecke report” on the THTR Hamm and AVR Jülich In 1988, Professor Jochen Benecke prepared a 261-page report on behalf of the Elektrowatt engineering company for the Minister for Economic Affairs, Small Business and Technology in North Rhine-Westphalia, which was used for more than twenty years due to its highly explosive content was kept secret: “Criticism of the safety devices and security concepts...

Aachen University. Despite the incidents, he is impressed by the technology: "In Germany, you certainly won't need a pebble bed reactor in the next 30 years. It won't be economical either. But, as with many technologies, the question is whether we will take the time now that is further developed and then the potential is explored," said the scientist. Enormous...

a nuclear research reactor (MPR-30) was put into operation. When the Social Democratic NRW Economics Minister Reimut Jochimsen visited this reactor in Indonesia a few months after the Chernobyl disaster and the accident in the THTR-Hamm in 1986, he recommended the construction of German HTR technology to the military dictatorship there under Suharto (4th). The Siemens subsidiary...
to keep it alive instead of protecting employees of the Jülich research facility, residents and the environment. Politically, this failure has been tolerated to this day - out of economic interest. The SPD state governments of the 70s supported the Jülich project at all costs because it held out the prospect of turning hard coal into car fuel thanks to its high temperatures...

Since nuclear power is expensive, but the prices for generating renewable energy are falling, Hauck hopes that India will change its energy policy for economic reasons and generate electricity from sun and wind in the future. Finally, some visitors to the evening made a sign of solidarity with the Indian anti-nuclear movement...

When the magazine "Atomwirtschaft", also known as "atw" for short, devoted nine pages to the high-temperature reactor in December 2009, then based on previous experience with the THTR, one can be fairly certain that...

How dramatic the situation is is shown by the fact that the average life expectancy in 1990 has fallen from 62 years to 50 years today (1).
