Nuclear waste: The problem that won't go away
Creators
Description
Approximately 95 per cent of radioactivity is caused by waste from commercial nuclear reactors. The disposal problem represents the main topic in the discussion on nuclear technology for the next millennium - and beyond -and, most probably, will decide on the fate of the nuclear age. This report aims to show that a general consensus is required now for the nuclear power phaseout. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Etwa 95 Prozent der radioaktiven Strahlung wird von dem Muell aus den kommerziell betriebenen Reaktoren verursacht. Das Entsorgungsproblem stellt das zentrale Thema in der Diskussion um die Atomtechnik fuer das naechste Jahrtausend - und darueber hinaus - und wird wohl das abschliessende Urteil ueber das Atomzeitalter sprechen. Der Bericht zielt daraufhin, dass ein gesellschaftlicher Konsens zum Ausstieg aus der Atomenergie jetzt erforderlich ist. (orig.)Additional details
