Koblenz: nuclear power debate Federal Secretary of research Hans Matthöfer speaks, o-ton: "you know that in the public discussion on the peaceful use of nuclear energy in addition to the question of the necessity of using also the question of security of nuclear facilities in the center of public attention. For the Federal Government of the protection of the population and the environment and thus the safety of nuclear power plants is our priority." Panelists, girl writes.

Recordings at the power plant representatives of EVU talks, o-ton: "In terms of our tasks, design, build and operate power plants and certainly in the near future increasingly nuclear power plants." It is not primary task of the EVU. at all times sufficient to provide inexpensive and safe electric power research and development to not drive--also in the field of security, but our customers" A representative of the citizens initiative, o-ton: "as Deputy Chairman of the Federation of civil initiatives I would like to first determine ladies and gentlemen, that we are not dealing with the security within the meaning of the Atomic Energy Act, but with the security of the population in terms of the population, and that is the essential point, which is the heart of any discussion about the pros and cons of nuclear." Discussions with Minister Matthöfer. The Minister draws a preliminary balance sheet, o-ton: "conclusion: we take risks on us in all areas of technical civilization." It is not right that the radioactivity, which emanates from the nuclear power plants in the normal case, represents a risk that is far above the was we usually take in stride. Alone, the average radiation of the population through medical diagnosis is 50 times so in the year – today – such as those by radioactivity in 1985 will be great. In other words, we must discuss Very much A lot wider - we must also discuss what happens if we do not use nuclear energy." Waterfalls, windmills, solar energy. MU 600, UFA 979.

Dike break Elbe - Seitenkanal camera: Ahsendorf nuclear energy discussion in Koblenz camera: Luppa Jazz Festival in Breda origin: road at the beginning and end of total length

This disaster: dam break in the Heath 15 June 1976 Hamburg and Lower Saxony celebrate a century building: the 115-km-long Elbe - Seitenkanal, which connects the Mittellandkanal with the Hanseatic City, will be officially put into operation. A few weeks later the channel in the vicinity of town pea peat at the interface between a road tunnel and the overlying channel dam breaks. The Channel sole up to 40 cm thick asphalt concrete collapses in full-width--four to five million cubic meters of water pouring miles of dried-up land in the streets of Lüneburg. The water masses sweep away way, pick up lines, wash away homes. The scale of the disaster can be only roughly to quantify until now. The estimates range from 50 to 100 million marks. Around 15 hours after the dam burst about three thousand helpers of German armed forces, border guards, police, managed to seal the breaking point Fire Department and civil aid. The barge laden with Eternit "Freienthal" and three salvage tanks of the German armed forces formed an emergency dam with sandbags, garbage containers, car wrecks. But up to this point the nearly 40 km long section between the scharnebeck twin ship lift and lock ester wood near Uelzen ran empty almost. A Commission of inquiry set up by the Federal Ministry of transport will now clarify how it could come to the accident, it is certain that the channel was built in eight years never will be again passable before the end of this year.

This policy: "civil dialogue" nuclear energy Federal Secretary of research Hans Matthöfer: "you know, that in the public discussion on the peaceful use of nuclear energy in addition to the question of the necessity of the question also of security of nuclear facilities in the center of public attention. For the Federal Government of the protection of the population and the environment and thus the safety of nuclear power plants is our priority."
Nuclear energy - one of the most controversial issues of our time. Matthöfer Minister for research recorded the conversation with the citizens: information on benefits and risks of this technology, advantages and disadvantages of alternatives, should clarify positions help. Discussion partner of the Minister at this event in Koblenz - by many in the German Federal Republic - a power supply company and the Federation of civil initiatives were one.
A representative of the EVU: "In terms of our tasks, design, build and operate power plants and certainly in the near future increasingly nuclear power plants." It is not primary task of the EVU. at all times sufficient to provide inexpensive and safe electric power research and development to not drive--also in the field of security, but our customers"
"As Deputy Chairman of the Federation of civil initiatives, point ladies and gentlemen, first of all, that we not with the security in the meaning of the Atomic Energy Act deal, but with the security of the population in terms of the population, and that is the essential point, which is the core of any discussion to the Pro or contra in the nuclear energy."
A participant of the discussion: "Dear Mr. Minister, you now came here, to win back the trust of the population, dare I even say Federal Secretary of research Hans Matthöfer:"I'm here to organize a rational dialogue about risks and benefits of nuclear energy and to raise the level of information of the population.""
The discussions are in other places continued. At the end of a long evening in Koblenz, Germany, research Minister Matthöfer moved a preliminary balance sheet: "Science and research need to develop more new energy sources for future generations."
