*"There was a pebble bed reactor accident at Hamm-Uentrop West Germany nine days after the Chernobyl accident. On May 4 1986, a pebble became lodged in a feeder tube. Operators subsequently caused damage to the fuel during attempts to free the pebble. Radiation was released to the environs. The West German government closed down the research program because they found the reactor design unsafe."The German nuclear industry lied and said that the detected radiation came from the Chernobyl accident. But when it was found that the radiation came from the german reactor, the german population found that the nuclear industry could not be trusted and they pulled the plug on nuclear forever.* On Fri, Jan 22, 2016 at 9:40 AM, Bob Cook <[email protected]> wrote: > Mats and Peter-- > > It’s the old story of the government with public monies keeping their > friends in industry afloat for a little while longer.
