From 2011, 152 castors with highly radioactive nuclear waste are scheduled to arrive from the Jülich Research Center - but moving nuclear waste is not disposal!

    17.000 fuel elements in the THTR were damaged and that another 5.000 were to be expected during the reactor discharge (2). A single fuel element contains tens of thousands of highly radioactive micro-spheres and graphite dust, which, according to FZJ scientist Moormann at the Jülich THTR, was very "mobile". The engineering group that has now been commissioned only has the old...

    Top of page First build a completely new type of reactor, then move from accident to accident and then, 19 years after its decommissioning, investigate the question of what could happen to the highly radioactive nuclear fuel in the next decades and centuries. For example, if it gets damp (like in Ahaus), the enveloping material gets tired or there is an additional acid...

    contaminated tailings turned the mining areas into ecological disaster regions. Research for the THTR Hamm was carried out in the small AVR-Jülich. By 1978 alone, around 100.000 highly radioactive THTR spherical fuel elements were sunk in the Asse mine. The Asse scandal is also a THTR scandal. There is no final storage facility in sight for the 675.000 fuel balls from the THTR Hamm. These are...

    An association of nuclear opponents in Lower Saxony says: "It is enormously important to resist at the beginning of the nuclear spiral and not only when the uranium has become highly radioactive nuclear waste. If the uranium transports to Gronau come to a standstill, the others will too Steps of the nuclear spiral are made more difficult. With your help, an international network between...

    agreed on a two-week highway spectacle for the removal of the 18 castors from the former GDR research center Dresden-Rossendorf. Between May 30th and June 14th, the highly radioactive nuclear waste is to be transported in three loads of 6 castors each over the more than 600 km stretch of motorway from Dresden to Ahaus. The timing is explosive, because state elections will take place in North Rhine-Westphalia on May 22nd...

    Since the outside temperature was around 100 degrees when they were delivered, the humidity was not a problem, according to the anti-nuclear activists. There are currently 305 smaller castors with highly radioactive fuel elements from the decommissioned thorium high-temperature reactor (THTR) in Hamm stored in Ahaus - and they are rusting away. Burkhard Helling speaks of “supposedly plate-sized holes”...
