01 Sept 2022 Risks: Atomenergie ist eine Hochrisikotechnologie, sie kann die Gasmangellage nicht beheben - Sonnenseite - Ökologische Kommunikation mit Franz Alt
The article mentions world known medical organization IPPNW in 2022: The Nuclear Power share in the power supply in Germany is currently only around 6 percent. In these times (September 2022) there is much confusion about nuclear power and extending the service life of nuclear power plants in Germany. The background is that Germany sells this power also to France. IPPNW informs since long years about the security gaps in nuclear power plant operation. The cause is stress corrosion cracking in the steam generator pipes, which in the worst case can trigger a super meltdown. More than 300 cracks are already known in the German Neckarwestheim nuclear power plant. “Nuclear power is a high-risk technology. Within 32 years there were three major nuclear disasters: Three Mile Island (USA), Chernobyl (Ukraine) and Fukushima (Japan). That means, on average, a major disaster every 10 to 11 years,” explains (German) IPPNW Chair Dr. Angelica Claussen.
