Creators

Description

The Chernobyl accident has taught mankind very plainly that nuclear energy bears a deadly potential and thus is to be ranked as a key problem of future decisions in the sector of power engineering. Decisions to be taken in future have to be seen in the context of the ecological, economic, and social needs. The statements given reflect the FEST's opinion on nuclear energy and the biological, economic, political, and ethical implications. (DG)

Abstract (German)

Das nach Tschernobyl erfahrbar gewordene Gefaehrdungspotential fordert, die Kernenergie als ein Schluesselproblem fuer kuenftige Entscheidungen ueber Energietechnologien zu sehen. Solche Entscheidungen sind in den Zusammenhang des oekologischen, oekonomischen und sozialen Wirkungsgefuegen zu stellen. Die Stellungnahme eroertert in 30 Thesen die Kernenergie im Blick auf ihre biologischen, wirtschaftlichen, politischen und ethischen Implikationen. (DG)
