Program “Nuclear Power for Africa” (two repeats followed on March 24, 3 on Phoenix). Longer stops included Jülich, Hamm, Cape Town and Pelindaba. In Jülich, the film team visited the Mini-THTR, which was decommissioned in 2009 and will soon be completely dismantled. Interesting that two dozen former employees from this nuclear power plant are now working on the PBMR development in South Africa...
2008 - Moormann study - Inherent accidents and radioactivity emissions in the HTR line!
Inherent accidents and radioactivity emissions on the HTR line! August 2008 A new investigation (1) by the scientist Rainer Moormann into the operation of the thorium high-temperature reactor (THTR) AVR in Jülich, which was decommissioned in 1988, not only calls into question the entire previous official safety architecture of this reactor line, but also shakes the statements of the international...

Of course, reprocessing plants still produce more fission products that require disposal. And more and more new reactors have to be built and ultimately shut down again. Where is the recycling here? Safe thorium? The nuclear lobby claims that the construction of thorium reactors like the one in Hamm-Uentrop will limit the production of new plutonium...

linked. The Internet community gratefully accepted this vivid memory refresher and eagerly linked to it. On April 120th, around 26 participants demonstrated at the rally in front of the disused THTR in Hamm-Uentrop for the immediate nuclear phase-out and demanded a cancer study for the area around the THTR. A tractor with a trailer brought back vivid memories of the much-noticed...
There is no final storage facility in sight for the 675.000 fuel balls from the THTR Hamm. These are currently in a warehouse in Ahaus and are starting to rust. As is well known, the THTR was shut down in 1989. Construction costs around 2,1 billion euros. There are now 1,5 kg of nuclear fuel with plutonium stored in the reactor. The “decommissioning operation” costs 5,6 million euros annually. The dismantling costs of...
- Not only will the dismantling of the thorium high-temperature reactor {THTR) in Jülich, which made the headlines, be extremely difficult and very expensive at an estimated 500 million euros, the identical THTR in Uentrop, which was decommissioned in 1989, will also be consumed, according to Horst Blume from the citizens' initiative [BI] Environmental protection Hamm, huge sums of money in decommissioning operations alone every year. From the annual cost of...
a citizens' initiative (BI) - but long before that. *** The bell from June 04.06.2016th, 1989 Intention or operating error: Uncertainty surrounding the accident For decades, things were quiet around the nuclear power plant in Hamm-Uentrop, which was decommissioned in 30. 04.05.1986 years after the reactor disaster in Chernobyl, Ukraine, the THTR is in the headlines. It's about an accident on May XNUMXth, XNUMX, in which...

or start and with the small arrow under the loading bar you can "scroll" to any desired point within the video. The state government points out that the THTR has been shut down since 1989. However, even after it was decommissioned, incidents occurred; for example, the tritium water leak in 1992. Radioactive substances don't just disappear overnight: the...

However, the BfS expert does not rule it out." When questioned by WDR, the NRW state government gave itself a complete indictment: "Neuser can say for the NRW that investigations might be necessary around the then fault-prone, decommissioned Hamm-Uentrop nuclear power plant. Energy Ministry already denies it. "The study only looked at operational nuclear facilities...

and successfully completed the approval process in accordance with Section 1989 of the Atomic Energy Act in 7." - This miracle reactor was so successful that the THTR in Hamm had to be shut down that same year. But that wasn't what it said. Because there is currently no HTR in operation in Europe , the prevented would-be disaster control center drivers had to be content with a vision: “...

History of the resistance against the THTR in Hamm *** The founding of the 'Citizens' Initiative for Environmental Protection Hamm' The THTR decommissioning as a “success story” of the Enlightenment - How is a reactor decommissioned?! - An illustrated chronicle As early as 1970 there were isolated objections to the planned construction of the THTR, but there was a long-term citizens' initiative shortly before construction began...

Hamm. We exceptionally share this statement. And that is why the uranium enrichment plant in Gronau, in which the nuclear fuel for around 32 dangerous nuclear power plants is produced, should be shut down in order to get to the root of the problem. Because as the Hamm city administration so aptly writes in one of its brighter moments: “The catastrophe cannot be planned (...).” The endless...
because the at least ten-year delay in the realization of a demonstration power plant is demonstrated? And refers to the THTR in Hamm-Uentrop, which had to be shut down in 423 after 1989 days of full load. The South African Environmental Framework Plan (RFESR) of January 2007 assumes that various test series will ultimately be carried out at the planned PBMR demonstration plant...

in South Africa. The clear and concise subheading of the leaflet read: “Rogue city of Dortmund”. And EHR can't leave Hamm-Uentrop alone either: the busy company is supplying pipe material for 12 million euros for the gas and steam power plant (CCPP) under construction right next to the disused THTR. And who knows what else is planned... PBMR -- Things are moving forward!...

This will no longer really influence the course of events anyway. We live in a transitional period in energy policy. What comes next is unclear thanks to red-green omissions. Only a decommissioned nuclear power plant whose key components were dismantled would have been a truly safe step towards phasing out. This historic opportunity was carelessly missed. Today the...
2002 *** THTR Newsletter No. 74 June 2002 Everything safe?? On the occasion of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 9, we asked the HKG (High Temperature Nuclear Power Plant Society) about the safety of the decommissioned THTR. Since the EWI study came to the conclusion in 2001 that the reactor shell would need to be retrofitted in order to survive a plane crash, we wanted to know whether...

Information about the tax treatment of Hochtemperatur-Kernkraftwerk GmbH as a Joint European Undertaking. As you may be aware, the THTR plant has been shut down and partially dismantled for years. In particular, the fuel elements have been removed from the power plant, so that the plant is no longer important for the energy supply of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia...

Like the Hammer VEW power plant, the research reactor has been shut down since 1988 and 1989. Why “reactor safety research” is being carried out in Jülich for a type of reactor that has been decommissioned in Germany? Manthey says that the research in Jülich involves accompanying safety studies, and we can of course give tips to the South Africans. Sabine Baun, spokesperson for...
