«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)

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.

«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

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

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:

Regarding the ionizing radiation please read there also the fully

European Committee on Radiation Risk, 'The Health Effects of Ionising
Radiation Exposure at Low Doses and Low Dose Rates for Radiation Protection
Purposes'» (Brussels 2003, ISBN 1-897761-24-4), which I do recommend you.
But why are you still
committed to such a risky and expensive way of producing energy, if we are
able to generate our electricity requirements much more easily, safely and
more affordable with renewable energies?
I assume your consent as the
president of .energiesuisse.net to publish this correspondence in the annex

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...

Staffelung der Abschaltfristen sind verfassungskonform. Verfassungskonform
sind auch die entschädigungslose Rücknahme der Laufzeitverlängerungen von
2010 und das Gesetzgebungsverfahren selbst. Die Milliardenforderungen der
Konzerne sind mit dem heutigen Tage vom Tisch. Das Gericht sieht lediglich
in einem Randbereich des Gesetzes zu den beiden AKW Krümmel und
Mülheim-Kärlich einen Sonderfall, der jedoch die Verfassungsmäßigkeit des
Gesetzes insgesamt nicht in Frage stellt. Für diese beiden Anlagen muss der
Gesetzgeber nunmehr einen Ausgleich schaffen. Wie dies erfolgen kann,
darüber lässt das Gericht dem Gesetzgeber einen breiten

Atomausstiegs nicht verändert wird.",

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

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,

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

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.

P.S.
About 3000 persons, politicians and decision
makers world-wide receive the
SolarPeace-Information. All emails and letters are created with so-called 'Natural
Power', clean electricity generated with 100%
renewable energies (sun, water, wind, biomass or geothermal).
Increasing demand creates investments and the necessary supply. Each order
for 'Natural Power' supports the build-up of a future-oriented energy supply
and is an effective contribution to climate protection.
Please pass these information over to other interested people.
Cordial thanks! |
