During the dismantling of the first pebble bed high-temperature reactor, the final small work on relocating the reactor vessel is taking place in Jülich. The radioactively contaminated container from the decommissioned research reactor is to be brought to the newly built interim storage facility 200 meters away in May or June. This was announced by the operator of the Experimental Reactor Association (AVR). "The...

(HTR's) have been provided. The small research reactor in Jülich and the THTR 300 in Hamm-Uentrop had to be shut down in 1988 and 1989 after numerous breakdowns and accidents. Despite the “nuclear phase-out” and the reactor disaster in Fukushima and despite the devastating safety deficiencies of this reactor line, many millions of euros have been spent for decades (!) by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the federal government...

responded to the concerns of the local people and commissioned an evaluation by the Epidemiological Cancer Register of North Rhine-Westphalia. 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...

In order to circumvent the current nuclear law, the AVR (Arbeitsgemeinschaft VersuchsReaktor) is now to be brazenly re-declared as a research reactor. The same applies to the 305 Castors from the decommissioned Hamm-Uentrop pebble bed reactor, which are currently stored in Ahaus. According to a public announcement from the US Department of Energy, these should be sent to the USA at the same time - this is also...

“inherent” and pre-programmed. The German pebble bed reactors in Jülich and Hamm had to be shut down at the end of the 80s due to countless accidents and breakdowns. The current HTR problem reports will soon come from China if the censorship allows it. THTR fuel elements: Rare earths fuel a rarely functioning reactor. Meanwhile...

Information in the attachment. THTR - friends continue to talk: top of page New funds planned for THTR research and cheap “disposal” of contaminated sites! The dismantling of the very small THTR in Jülich, which was closed down in 1988, is causing huge costs of hundreds of millions of euros and even bigger problems and headaches. Because the nuclear facility is...

a lot went wrong here when it came to nuclear safety: in 2007 there was even an armed attack on the control center of the nuclear research center; The now decommissioned apartheid-era atomic bombs were stored right next door when the shooting occurred. Over the last ten years, numerous newspapers have written about the German and Swiss actors in...

The “incident” classified in category “C” was succinctly described as follows: “Water leakage into the primary system”. However, the AVR should not “survive” this incident. It was finally shut down. The exact reasons for this were never made public. Dr. Moormann, who has long been a supporter of the use of nuclear energy in reactors, came to the conclusion in 2008 in a study he...

THTR: Half - (Value) -- Time The THTR was decommissioned in 1989. A so-called thirty-year “decommissioning operation” is planned for the period from 1997 to 2027. We are currently halfway through and can take stock of the situation. That's where it hits...

associated risk potential appears in a new light. The myth of the “inherent safety” of this type of reactor has been shattered. Dr. Moormann has revealed that the experimental reactor in Jülich, which was finally shut down in 1988, was insufficiently protected against elevated operating temperatures in the reactor core during normal operation for years. Timely direct temperature measurements did not appear possible;...

and because of the laws of nature nothing bad could happen. It's just unfortunate that their high-temperature thorium reactor (THTR) in Hamm had to be shut down in 1 after an endless series of breakdowns and accidents (1989). The attempt to dismantle the small 46 MWth (or 13 Mwel) THTR research reactor at the Jülich Research Center, which cost hundreds of millions of euros, is currently showing that...

then announced that it wanted to remove the soil and dispose of it as nuclear waste. On August 27, 2013, despite the extended license, the owner Entergy announced that the nuclear power plant would be shut down in 2014 because continued operation was no longer economically viable. The reason for the Senate decision was a tritium leak into the underground of the plant... Wikipedia en Nuclear power accidents by...

"Withdrawn from the program at the beginning of 2010" (atw). Parts of the university's nuclear research were also discontinued: "However, the Fuel Development Laboratory and the Helium Test Facility would be shut down. The Heat Transfer Test Facility at Northwest University will also be shut down unless the university wants to continue using it, Hogan continued. Hogan emphasized that...

where he had studied and met with the former SA man Wilhelm Groth, later a working group leader at the Jülich nuclear research facility. "German atomic research, which was almost shut down by the Allies' restrictions, could only be continued with considerable difficulty. The admiral appeared to be a 'savior' - Professor Groth is said to have said to him: 'Get the money...

Only the last claim is factually correct. Anyone who reads our homepage knows exactly that the nuclear facilities in Hamm and Jülich were decommissioned at the end of the 80s. The large and small high-temperature reactors have been in so-called decommissioning mode there for decades. Dismantling it will be a dangerous and expensive affair. And in that...

be replaced. The collapse of a 60 meter high chimney in the pyrolysis plant of the old (!) coal-fired power plant in December 2009 raises the question of the safety of the disused THTR. After all, the immediate vicinity is teeming with tall construction cranes, buildings and soon two 165 meter high cooling towers. What if these fell on the reactor...

in Gorleben and from now on also in Ahaus." The GNS is a subsidiary of the nuclear companies (48% EON, 28% RWE, plus EnBW + Vattenfall). The GNS operates another conditioning plant in North Rhine-Westphalia, including in the decommissioned Würgassen nuclear power plant on the Weser for the dismantling of the nuclear power plant. The GNS is also strongly represented in Jülich (e.g. with one of three Lower Saxony (!) state collection points)...

Especially now a critical report was very inconvenient for the nuclear industry and its parties. Radiated reactor Der Spiegel wrote in its print edition of July 20, 2009 about the Jülich THTR, which was shut down in 1988: "The reactor core is contaminated with high amounts of radioactive isotopes such as cesium-137 and strontium-90. In addition, there is a treacherous cargo slumbering in its core: 198. ..
