«Without nuclear power no nuclear bomb. And as long as nuclear bombs exist, there is a danger of nuclear wars. A nuclear war would be the last war in human history. Because after that there would be no more people who could still wage war.», Franz Alt said on the 1st Word Conference Community Power and the Mayor of Fukushima City explained: «When I was on the fifth anniversary of the disaster at the reactor, nuclear radiation values were measured, which are 10'000 times higher than the legal limits».1)

Franz Alt added unmistakably: «In the sarcophagus of Fukushima still slumbers a radioactivity of about 10'000 Hiroshima bombs.»1)

Thus Fukushima also slumbers in Switzerland, because the Swiss nuclear reactors contain about the same quantities of radioactivity. The five Swiss nuclear power plants contain radioactivity in an order of magnitude of approximately 10’000 Hiroshima nuclear bombs and threaten not only the Swiss population, but also the population of neighbouring countries. This is a violation of constitutional principles, human rights and international law.2)

The Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate ENSI had confirmed these facts about the produced radioactivity in a written survey, but rejected its own responsibility and jurisdiction.2) and 3)

The initiative «For an orderly withdrawal from the nuclear energy programme»  («Für einen geordneten Atomausstieg»)

Bye Bye nuclear power? All information for the upcoming referendum Referendum booklet (German), SRF, 1.11.2016

Arguments «For an orderly withdrawal from the nuclear energy programme» (German): 
● Adoption creates jobs,
● Questionable argumentation of the Federal Council in the referendum booklet,
● Insurance against nuclear accident,
● Wind and sun can do it alone,
● Panic is not justified, etc., Atominfomedia - to pitfalls of nuclear industry, Guntram Rehsche, 2016

Gemeinderat Kilchberg informiert über Radioaktivität & Lösung Naturstrom (German), SolarPeace.org, 25.11.2008

UN-Resolution  «Climate Change by Radioactivity», SolarPeace.org, 7.8.2009

 

On November 27, 2016, Switzerland will vote on the initiative «For an orderly withdrawal from the nuclear energy programme». Just as in past referendums on nuclear power, the public is not being informed about the radioactivity quantities produced at the Swiss nuclear power plants. Neither in the referendum booklet nor in the TV broadcast SRF ARENA the radioactivity in the Swiss nuclear reactors is mentioned.4)

It is hard to believe, but the noun «radioactivity» is searched in vain in the referendum booklet, only the adjective «radioactive» is found in exactly three places. However, both words are missing in the chapter «The Arguments of the Federal Council» («Die Argumente des Bundesrates»), the risk and the core problem of the nuclear power plants - the produced radioactivity - is completely concealed.5)

The voting population is therefore not informed about the risks and dangers of nuclear power plants and should nevertheless vote on the initiative «For an orderly withdrawal from the nuclear energy programme». We should ask ourselves whether this is an embarrassing mistake, just coincidence, or even a conscious strategy?

In addition, the referendum booklet fosters unfounded fears: «When the initiative is adopted, it is foreseeable that the operators of nuclear power plants will demand compensation from the federal government.» This question is superfluous because of the economic inefficiency of the nuclear power plants, whose risk is still not insurable and whose subsequent costs for thousands of years are simply not calculable. For these reasons, but also because the electricity production with renewable energies is much cheaper, some operators try to give away or to sell their nuclear power plants ridiculously cheap.6)

Nevertheless, the question of compensation payments could be justified, however, to be paid by the operators of the nuclear power plants to the population and taxpayers. For decades, the population and taxpayers have borne the uninsured risk of nuclear power plants and are thus entitled to receive compensation. In addition, it is currently not clear whether the Swiss nuclear power plants have a valid operating permit for the production of radioactivity at all. It is not a matter of small quantities or just about the so-called "low radiation during normal operation". The production of radioactivity is not mentioned in the existing operating permits of the Swiss nuclear power plants. One day it will also be necessary to examine whether the operators of the nuclear power plants in their applications for operation permit had mentioned and publish the quantities of the produced radioactivity at all, or even suppressed them and deceived both the authorities and the public inadvertently, negligently or deliberately?

The exit from nuclear power comes one way or the other. With the adoption of the initiative «For an orderly withdrawal from the nuclear energy programme», it becomes much more predictable, safer, calculable and affordable for the population, economy and politics.

After Fukushima: nuclear policy in Japan (German)

«Without nuclear power no nuclear bomb. And as long as nuclear bombs exist, there is a danger of nuclear wars. A nuclear war would be the last war in human history. Because after that there would be no more people who could still wage war. ... "Why always Japan?" I ask myself. In 1945, the first nuclear bombs of history were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki - 140,000 immediate deaths and another 200,000 deaths thereafter. And even today, up to 3,000 dead by nuclear radiation every year as a result of the nuclear bombs of 1945, the mayor of Nagasaki had told me before. And now Fukushima. ... By now, the world could have learned that nuclear power means Russian roulette. Each nuclear power plant is an attack on the creation. ... In the sarcophagus of Fukushima still slumbers a radioactivity of about 10,000 Hiroshima bombs.», Franz Alt, 5.11.2016 (Copy )

Obama and Nobel Prize Laureates seek Nuclear-Ban

«On January 20, 2009, twelve Nobel Prize Laureates and a former Under-Secretary General of the United Nations addressed US President Barack Obama. In an open letter they remind President Obama of his promise to seek a world in which there are no nuclear weapons. Pointing to the shortfalls of the existing international regime for nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament, Sir Harold Kroto (Nobel Prize for Chemistry), Member of the Advisory Board of INES, and his co-signers remind Barack Obama of the recent suggestion by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to use the existing Model Nuclear Weapons Convention as a starting point for the path into a nuclear weapons free world. ... Much hope has been created in your nation and in the entire world due to your election as President of the United States of America. We are inspired by your public statements, that you will seek a world in which there are no nuclear weapons.», SolarPeace.org, 20.1.2009
 

Nuclear power is being left behind, industry experts say

"The 2018 edition of the Nuclear Industry Status Report (WNISR) reveals that nuclear power capacity grew by only 1% in 2017, while wind and solar saw their share increase by 17% and 35%, respectively. The report also recognizes that solar and wind are now the cheapest grid-connected sources of energy. Investments in new nuclear plants, on the other hand, are only being driven by public support, and by nuclear weapon states.", 15.09.2018, Sonnenseite.com

Solar and wind are now the cheapest grid-connected sources of energy!

Weiterhin ist nicht klar, was im havarierten AKW Fukushima 1 mit den fast 900.000 Tonnen an kontaminiertem Grund- und Kühlwasser geschehen soll, die in Tanks auf dem Gelände gesammelt sind. Betreiber TEPCO würde das Wasser am liebsten im Meer entsorgen.

9.11.2016 - translated with translate.google.com from the original German correspondence


Dear Dr. Irene Aegerter

Thank you for your valued response. In particular, your statement «The third sentence comes from the poison cabinet of cold war. The nuclear power countries had detonated hundreds of test bombs in the atmosphere without the least impact. In a nuclear war, there could be thousands. They can not eradicate mankind.» was shocking to me, because the third sentence of the SolarPeace press release dated 7.11.2016 reads «A nuclear war would be the last war in human history.». Are you really of the opinion that this third sentence, this statement by Dr. Franz Alt, is wrong or needs criticism or that a nuclear war is even conceivable or feasible for you as a scientist?

Please read the detailed and directly linked sources, such as the quotations «Since a reactor in one day produces as much radioactivity as a 50-kt nuclear explosion... a typical nuclear reactor has in its core the long-lived radioisotopes from 30 megatons of fission.» and «Reactor accidents... too horrible to think about.» («Can the World Do Without Nuclear Power? Can the World Live With Nuclear Power?», Nuclear Control Institute, 9.4.2001) as well as «The spent fuel from nuclear plants contains enough plutonium to fabricate about 30 nuclear weapons from a single year of operation of each power reactor» («The Future of Nuclear Energy», Chicago, 25./26.9.2008) from US nuclear physicist Prof. Dr. Richard L. Garwin, on:

Atomausstieg dient „Schutz des Lebens und der Gesundheit“ (Bundesverfassungsgericht)

7.12.2016

Deutscher Atomausstieg bleibt 8)

Die Begründung hat es in sich. Das Bundesverfassungsgericht entschied: Der Atomausstieg in Deutschland nach der Fukushima-Katastrophe vor fünfeinhalb Jahren war recht und billig. Er dient dem „Schutz des Lebens und der Gesundheit“. Ein Kommentar von Franz Alt

Für alle Länder, die jetzt noch an ihrer alten Atompolitik festhalten – wie zum Beispiel unser direkter Nachbar Frankreich – stellt sich nun dringend die Frage: Warum wird dort „Leben und Gesundheit“ der Bürger nicht besser geschützt?

Mit diesem Urteil, so kommentiert die Süddeutsche Zeitung, „hat das Bundesverfassungsgericht großes getan für den Frieden im Land“.

Zumindest in Deutschland werden bis 2022 alle AKW abgeschaltet. Aber das Thema Atommüll bleibt und die Suche nach einem „Endlager“ beginnt jetzt erst richtig. Das Gift strahlt etwa eine Million Jahre. Der Sarkophag in Tschernobyl, der soeben für etwa zwei Milliarden Euro fertiggestellt wurde, wird etwa 100 Jahre halten.

Hochgerechnet auf eine Million Jahre heißt das: diese „Schutzhülle“ muss etwa 10.000 mal erneuert werden. Billiger Atomstrom wie uns seit 50 Jahren erzählt wird? Eine größere Lachnummer wurde der Menschheit nie vorgegaukelt. Die eigentlichen Kosten zahlen unsere Kinder und Enkel und deren Kinder und Enkel.

Die Energiekonzerne wollten mit ihrem Gang nach Karlsruhe „Schadenersatz“ für die frühere Stilllegung ihrer AKW. Die letzten werden nicht 2036, wie 2010 noch beschlossen, sondern im Jahr 2022 vom Netz gehen. Dafür wollten RWE, E.ON und Vattenfall einen zweistelligen Milliardenbetrag.

Das BVG entschied nun, dass sie sich mit einem dreistelligen Millionenbetrag zufrieden geben müssen, wenn überhaupt. Die Konzerne sind gut beraten, wenn sie jetzt nach diesem Grundsatzurteil auch darauf verzichten. Andernfalls sollte die Bundesregierung auf die weitere Bezahlung der bisherigen Kernbrennstoff-Steuer bestehen. Diese sollte ursprünglich Ende 2016 abgeschafft werden.

Das Atomkraft-Urteil ist insgesamt ein Sieg der Politik über reine Wirtschaftsinteressen...

Congratulation Switzerland - Quiz for free «OPAL addresses- and dossier management» (version 7.1)

1.6.2017

After Fukushima, the Swiss government recognised the situation and decided to phase out nuclear power. After long and expensive years of delay the Swiss population democratically confirmed this decision on 21. Mai 2017 in a popular vote.

The editorial office of SolarPeace.org would like to thank and congratulate Switzerland on this historic decision!

Quiz question:  

How much radioactivity is being produced daily in an average nuclear power plant?

 

«Since a reactor in one day produces as much radioactivity as a 50-kt nuclear explosion, and fuel in a reactor has typically been there for an average of two years, a typical nuclear reactor has in its core the long-lived radioisotopes from 30 megatons of fission.» and «Reactor accidents... too horrible to think about.», US-Atomphysiker Prof. Dr. Richard L. Garwin, «Can the World Do Without Nuclear Power? Can the World Live With Nuclear Power?», Nuclear Control Institute, 9.4.2001 (cf. copy page 5 and copy page 6 )

The Hiroshima nuclear bomb represented a 12.5 kt nuclear explosion. (Copy ), International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW, Peace Nobel Price 1985, www.facts-on-nuclear-energy.info)

Thus, an average nuclear power plant produces a daily quantity of radioactivity equivalent to four Hiroshima nuclear bombs.
 

ENSI-Confirmation in the correspondence with Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate ENSI , SolarPeace.org, 1.6. until 1.7.2011 (incl. letter with the survey results from 31.8.2011, etc.)

see also UN-Resolution  «Climate Change by Radioactivity», SolarPeace.org, 7.8.2009 including the press release JAPAN nuclear catastrophe: UN Resolution on Security and energy needed urgently!, SolarPeace.org, 18.3.2011

 


    

This decision is an historic one also due to its previous history. Already in 2003 there were votes on nuclear energy, missed opportunities for the population, the economy and politics. Since then due to a lack of political framework a number of future-oriented Swiss high-tech companies have gone bankrupt or had been sold shortly before (Oerlikon Solar is just one example). Now it is necessary to catch up again and to implement the decided energy transition together and consistently.

The Swiss government has received both a national and an international mandate. The national build-up of renewable energies must now be implemented quick and smooth. If the nuclear power plant operators don't decide it themselves in a useful time, a shutdown date must be set for the remaining nuclear power plants so that the market for renewable energies can unfold freely and fully. On the international stage, in the name of the Swiss security and neutrality policy, the Swiss government is now called upon to support also neighbouring countries (especially France) in order to phase-out the operation of nuclear power plants, the daily production of radioactivity in the order of magnitude of several Hiroshima nuclear bombs (cf. sources used and the ENSI confirmation on SolarPeace.org), in those countries.

We would like to thank the former opponents and advocates and support the joint implementation of the now agreed energy transition.
