Aroused debate about the risks of the peaceful use of nuclear energy and the safety of nuclear power plants
Inspection of all German power reactors ordered by the German government

Aim: Development of a questionnaire Could radioactivity be released on by the reactor safety commission (RSK) for safety inspections of the German power reactors a large scale ? published in April 2011.
June 2011, decision of the Federal Council of Germany Stress test will be extended to all nuclear facilities including research reactors with a thermal power higher than 50 kW.

German Research Reactors after the Accident at Fukushima Daiichi Content of the stress test Basic criteria of nuclear safety technology Definition of the vitality of the facility: reactivity decay heat release of radioactivity and safety limit of 50 mSv for nuclear accidents Stress tests Check of the vital functions of the research reactor
Is the research reactor robust enough and complies with requirements after an accident also for a combination of the events ?

Content of the stress test

Questionnaire includes: natural events as earthquakes, flooding, extreme weather situations and combined events civilian events, such as airplane crash, including the burning of kerosene, leakages, release of gas and terrorist attacks (confidential) other events, such as station blackout, loss of emergency power for long periods, loss of cooling discussion of actions in emergency cases in difficult situations (possibilities of emergency aid when the infrastructure is destroyed)

German Research Reactors after the Accident at Fukushima Daiichi TRIGA Mainz, Germany Stress test Reduced questionnaire of 10 pages developed by the RSK Including the same 4 subjects (natural events, civilianevents, other events, actions in emergency cases) in a short form Advantages of the RR of type TRIGA Inherent safe RR Low power (100 kW) No active cooling after operation
necessary
maximum fuel temperature of 300C Disadvantage: build in the early 1960th

German Research Reactors after the Accident at Fukushima Daiichi TRIGA Mainz, Germany Information to the public by the scientific personnel of the TRIGA Mainz to all public media and participation in public debates during the accident What is the reason for the different reactions regarding the politics, science and society in the European countries? How can the communication between public media and scientific personnel be improved? Symposium at the 8th 9th of March 2012 Radiation Protection one year after Fukushima

Research reactors in dismantling and/or temporary storage, Germany

Should research reactors in the stages of dismantling and/or in temporary storages take part in the stress test? Until now, no final decision by the German government. Advantage: fuel is removed for most research reactors in dismantling Disadvantage: Annullation of no-fly-zones for airplanes Examination of the crash of an airplane in a stress test
