Transport action is a strategy which has been talked about for many ~ears, an~ there have been actions on location. Now there seems more interest in uranium consumer countries - Europe - to also do something about the transports. In this sectien of KirTG we publish several action and several background stories on transports.

  • The Role of OOA Making a Nuclear Free Denmark Be Realistic
    The Role of OOA making a Nuclear Free Denmark Be realistic – demand the impossible! (1) OOA – Organisation for Information about Nuclear Power - was set up in January 1974 and highly influenced the fact that Denmark, contrary to most industrialized countries, never constructed nuclear power plants. On the contrary, Denmark rather early turned towards renewable energy. How did that happen? 1. In order to deal with the topic of this presentation let me briefly highlight the energy situation of Denmark in 1973. As for energy, Denmark was completely dependent upon fossil energy resources say oil products and coal. The neighbouring countries Germany and Sweden were already constructing and about to complete a number of nuclear power plants. In 1971, upon request from the electricity companies, the government had initiated a systematic survey for possible sites to place Danish nuclear power plants. During the autumn of 1973 one could understand that a report was soon to be published, pinpointing 12-15 possible construction sites (2). Already in 1972 the electricity companies, for their part, had begun distributing colourful brochures on nuclear power while the research facility Risø organised pronuclear workshops for journalists and science teachers. With hardly any exception the politicians were sympathetic towards nuclear power, which was seen not to cause any problem but was regarded as a positive future technology. The general focus upon energy was dramatically influenced by the OPEC-initiated reduction of oil supplies during the autumn of 1973. After general elections in December 1973, a relatively small liberal party had managed to take over and remove the Social Democrats from the government.

  • 26 Criteria Nuclear Power Does Not Meet
    E-PAPER Towards a clean and sustainable energy system: 26 criteria nuclear power does not meet JAN HAVERKAMP Published by Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, April 2021 About the Author Jan Haverkamp (1959) graduated in biochemistry and environmental sciences with a side specialisation in nuclear energy. He has worked on the subject of nuclear energy since the 1980s, full-time since 1999. Between 1985 and 2017, he worked mainly in Central Europe and Brussels. As a senior expert on nuclear energy and energy policy, he currently works for the environmental organisations WISE and Greenpeace. About WISE WISE (World Information Service on Energy) was founded in 1978 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. In 1978 revenues from sales of the Smiling Sun were used to start up the organisation, and for about 10 years partly to finance the work of WISE. From the very beginning, WISE has always published a magazine, meant to keep the global anti-nuclear movement updated on developments, arguments and campaigns. In the year 2000, the WISE News Communique merged with the NIRS Monitor into the current Nuclear Monitor. For many years, it has been the last magazine totally devoted to the fight against nukes. Contents Introduction 4 Sustainability criteria that nuclear energy 5 does not meet A. Technical criteria 6 B. Economic criteria 15 C. Social and political criteria 25 Introduction Nuclear energy has been brought back into the European energy debate due to populist power. Currently, a complex debate is taking place within the EU about whether nuclear power should be part of the Taxonomy for Sustainable Activities. Nuclear energy does not meet a number of basic criteria that should be a requirement of technologies in a sustainable energy policy.
