Salzgitter

Breakfast mile on the Industriestrasse

30 years after the reactor accident in Chernobyl and 5 years after Fukushima, the AG Schacht Konrad invites you to a protest breakfast mile on Sunday, April 24, 11 a.m., on Industriestraße Nord near Salzgitter-Bleckenstedt.

Shaft Konrad.

The reactor in Chernobyl exploded 30 years ago. Five years ago, disaster struck in Fukushima. Despite this, 441 nuclear power plants are still in operation worldwide. Germany supplies the necessary fuel from Gronau and Lingen. And safe storage of the radioactive nuclear waste remains an illusion worldwide.

With the Breakfast Mile, participants will oppose the German government's nuclear waste plans in the Braunschweig region and demonstrate for a general and final phase-out of nuclear energy.

Individuals or associations can take part. You can bring your own breakfast table or simply rent one. Further information: Email infofruehstuecksmeilede phone 05341 / 900194.

Criticism of the planned storage of nuclear waste in Schacht Konrad continues unabated and is omnipresent throughout the Braunschweig region: in February, members of the Final Storage Commission visited the facility near Salzgitter-Bleckenstedt in person, after Federal Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks had previously visited Salzgitter on January 19.

In December 2015 / January 2016, the local authorities in the region adopted a joint appeal to demand a reassessment of the "Schacht Konrad" project in line with the current state of science and technology. From a scientific point of view, this reassessment can only result in the conclusion that the Konrad mine is not suitable as a storage site.

In particular, the Federal Government demands

  1. The permanent binding exclusion of an expansion of Schacht Konrad.
  2. A comprehensive reassessment of the Konrad mine in accordance with the current state of science and technology, including the safety calculations and analyses that are more than 25 years old.
  3. The consideration of an option for the retrievability of all nuclear waste to be disposed of, which is not given at the Konrad mine.
  4. The revision of the Konrad transport study for a realistic and up-to-date assessment of transport risks, including the possible effects of transport accidents.


The responsible alliance partners (AG Schacht Konrad, IG Metall, Landvolk, City of Salzgitter) are united in their goal of continuing to take legal, political and imaginative action against the Konrad project in a wide variety of ways.
