The Hanau plutonium processing factories ALKEM and NUKEM
Creators
Description
The Red/Green government in Hesse was overthrown over the fact that the Nukem plant and its daughter plants are still working without the licenses required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1975. The Alkem plant processes plutonium without having made the necessary safety provisions. Two managers of the plant and three officials of the Hessian Ministry of Economics will now have to justify themselves in court. The court will have to investigate whether the accusations put forward are really justified and whether Sect. 7 of the Atomic Energy Act has been observed. (orig./HP)
Abstract (German)
Der Stolperstein der rot-gruenen Koalition in Hessen: Noch immer arbeiten die Nukem und ihre Tochterfirmen im Hanauer Stadtteil Wolfgang ohne die seit 1975 nach dem Atomgesetz vorgeschriebenen Genehmigungen. Die Alkem verarbeitet Plutonium, doch die Sicherheitsvorkehrungen lassen zu wuenschen uebrig. Gegen zwei Manager und drei Beamte des hessischen Wirtschaftsministeriums hat die Staatsanwaltschaft Anklage erhoben. Ob ganz sauber recherchiert wurde, ist fraglich. Das gilt besonders fuer die vorlaeufige oder befristete Betriebsgenehmigung nach Para. 7 AtG. (orig./HP)Additional details
