But there were always standstills. The accident in 1986 When the accident at the THTR became known a few days after the reactor disaster in Chernobyl in 1986 and significantly increased radioactive levels were measured in Hamm, many rallies and blockades by citizens and farmers with tractors took place in front of the THTR in the three following years. A number of...

Paragraph 3e for the area of nuclear power. This stipulates that national policies must be based on the principle that the costs of managing spent fuel and radioactive waste are borne by those who produced that material. The German Atomic Energy Act (AtG) also expressly states in Section 2d Paragraph 1 Number 5 that “the costs of...

In June 2016, a Wikipedia discussion entry by THTR commissioning manager Schollmeyer, who was involved in the serious incident, once again caused a lot of excitement. In 1986, the radioactive fuel balls got stuck in the "pneumatic tube" and the resulting ball rupture was unintentionally blown off into the surrounding area - at least that was the previous official version. The...

“(1) We note here: The operator did not wait until the filters that had already been ordered had arrived before blowing off. Apparently it was believed that the radioactive isotopes blown out would not be noticeable because of the Chernobyl cloud. Dr. Daoud acted as representative of the main commissioning engineer HRB (Hochtemperatur Reaktorbau GmbH) and head of start-up operations...

Resolutions and laws violated. It is particularly noteworthy that capacities and financial resources in Jülich and Aachen are not invested in the safest possible "disposal" of the large amounts of radioactive HTR nuclear waste and in securing the radiant reactor ruins, but rather in calculations and research for a new construction of HTRs in China, India or even in the EU. Here...
NRW commissioned. The results of the statistical evaluation are now available. The decommissioned reactor in Hamm-Uentrop recently came into focus because of the suspicion that radioactive PAC beads had escaped from the reactor into the environment. However, this was not confirmed. According to current information, the beads found were spherical components of...

30 spectators in the municipal cinema first remain silent, then ask the director various questions, whose answers are translated and supplemented by anti-nuclear power activist Peter Hauck.

ecological catastrophe with many deaths, blatant human rights violations and displacement of local residents: “Waste materials from the refining process such as toxic chemicals and radioactive substances end up in a huge collecting basin, the “Lake of Rare Earths”. In recent years, 150 million tons of waste have probably accumulated there. According to blogger Fanling...
with 1280 degrees, which only proves that this temperature has at least been reached. + The report also shows that there was an increased release of radioactivity in the reactor core, particularly between 1974 and 1976. Quote: “It is incomprehensible to the expert group that after evaluating the third series of monitor spheres from 1986 to 1988, no further safety-related...

All over Germany are announcing massive protests along the entire route in the event of Castor transports from the AVR interim storage facility in Jülich. In Jülich, 152 castors with highly radioactive waste from fuel elements are stored. Apparently, the Jülich Research Center (FZJ) has not yet been able to obtain a legally secure permit for the interim storage facility or a transport permit...

Measuring ranges have been left out! The background: In 1986, eight days after the reactor disaster in Chernobyl, there was an accident in the thorium high-temperature reactor (THTR) in Hamm, in which radioactivity was released into the surrounding area. Destroyed fuel balls containing tens of thousands of 0,4 mm PAC beads (plutonium, americium, curium) were transported through the exhaust chimney...

Rainer Moormann and the journalist Jürgen Streich contacted Christian Küppers, the chairman of the investigative commission that deals with the history of the accident and the previously unresolved radioactive water leak at the AVR in Jülich in 1978. Significantly, the Research Center Jülich (FZJ) has given the two critics of the pebble bed reactor the publication of detailed...
