[en] From the beginning of this year, the Stade nuclear power station supplies district heating to a nearby salt refinery company. This is the first time a commercial power station in the Federal Republic of Germany has employed electric power/heat cogeneration. To date, the station has generated 58 billion kWh in its 12 years of operation, at an availability rate of appr. 85% on average. These excellent operation results and the high availability make the Stade nuclear power station one of the leading companies of this kind on an international level. (orig.)

[en] The higher administrative court at Lueneburg has rejected with costs - verdict of Sept. 13th, 1977 - VII OVG B 77/77 - the appeal of a nuclear energy opponent against the refusal of his challenging-of-a-judge-request, and thus against the fixing of an oral hearing in the court of a town situated within the bounds of the nuclear power plant in operation. The main grounds upon which the judgment is based are presented. (orig./HP)

[en] With an electricity generation of 49.8 Milliard kWh during the past ten years the nuclear power plant Stade (KKS) belongs to the international top groups of nuclear-operated power plants. So the speaker of the directory of the 'Nordwestdeutsche Kraftwerke AG (NKW), Dr. rer. nat. Hermann Kraemer, could explain on the occasion of the anniversary celebration end of July, that this reactor represents a 'symbol of reliability'. (orig.)

[en] With its decision of October 5, 1982, the Committee on Preliminary Proceedings of the Federal Constitutional Court dismissed the challenge of the constitutionality of the 7th part-construction permit for Stade nuclear power plant (Lower Saxony) on the grounds that it will most likely be unsuccessful. The decision includes a statement concerning the right of appeal against operating licences under the Atomic Energy Act, as well as the limits set by the Constitution with regard to the requirements to be met by appeals against administrative court decisions.

[en] With the decision of October 5, 1982, the preliminary appraisal committee of the Federal Constitutional Court did not accept for trial the appeal on constitutional grounds against the judgment of December 22, 1980 of the Federal Administrative Court (BVerwGE 61, 256), which dismissed the action for anulment of the 7th part-construction permit for Stade nuclear power plant launched by the apellant domiciled at a distance of about 25 km from said power plant. The committee states that there are doubts even as to the admissibility of the appeal. There is no infringement of Art. 19, Para. 4 of the Basic Law, the court says, and explains the requirements to be met by the statement proving one's case. The apellant did not explain why Art. 3, Para. 1, 2 Para. 1, or 103, Para. 1 Basic Law present a reason to commence legal proceedings, and the court comes to the conclusion that even assuming admissibility on other grounds, the action would most likely be unsuccessful. The court does not accept the opinion stated by the apellant, that the Fed. Adm. Court demanded too stringent requirements for proving one's case, in this particular case the right of third parties affected to call for legal protection. The court furthermore states that there is not sufficient reason to appeal against the preclusion of the apellant's complaints in accordance with section 7 b of the Atomic Energy Act, or section 3(1) of the Nuclear Installations Ordinance.

[en] 1. Anyone who brings the action to set aside an operating licence granted for a nuclear power plant on the grounds of radioactive emissions connected with the normal operation of this plant has to set forth that the provisions of sect. 45 of the Radiation Protection Ordinance determining dose limits could be violated, otherwise his or her action is inadmissible. 2. The rule to minimize radiation exposure laid down in sect. 28 of the Radiation Protection Ordinance does not protect third parties. 3. A partial licence as laid down in the Atomic Energy Law cannot be fought by means of objections to which the binding effect of an earlier granted partial licence is opposed. Federal Administrative Court, decision of December 22, 1980 - 7 C 84.78. The complainant who lives about 25 kilometers away from the Stade reactor objected to the 7th partial licence granted for this nuclear power plant by bringing an action. (orig./HP)
