THTR Circular No. 123, October 2008

Now is the time to act: childhood cancer near nuclear power plants. Opinion of the IPPNW.

The aces brings it to light: Highly radioactive THTR fuel elements of the AVR Jülich in tin cans come up again! Around 100.000 spherical fuel elements were stored up to 1978.

Insider study at Forschungszentrum Jülich proves: Inherent incidents and radioactivity emissions in the HTR line! The entire security architecture of Generation IV is thus called into question.

The big sell-off: The documentary by Florian Opitz shows, using South Africa as an example, that privatization and nuclear power plants make electricity very expensive.

Dear readers: media coverage, coal-fired power plants Hamm etc ...

The HTR in Switzerland: Risen from the ruins. Generation IV reactors in the current Swiss discussion. The machine and plant engineering company Sulzer.

Cancer risk at the THTR: Citizens' initiative calls for serious examinations instead of smoke candles! The NRW state government wants to evade responsibility with flimsy justifications. Media interest continued into January.

THTR Circular No. 119, January 2008

Leukemia also in Hamm and the surrounding area? Of all things, the THTR accident reactor is not being examined! The KIKK study omits the THTR with flimsy arguments. The THTR-PAC pellets from the Elbmarsch with the world's highest leukemia rate are obviously causing enough attention.

The leukemia study incident and a stubborn hammer Mayor: A pre-Christmas ox tour. Even after 21 years, the accident of 1986 is still present in people's consciousness - and becomes a surprising media event. Many of those affected report to BI.

Letter to Sigmar Gabriel: A lot of money for THTR research, but none for cancer study? - A detailed chronicle.
