politics of high chimneys
on “nothing to fear” from october 6th: nothing to fear – “at no time is there any danger, we have everything under control” – are sentences that i can no longer hear from the nuclear lobbyists, not only from philippsburg but also here from my neighborhood of the kit, the wak, the itu, with which the people and representatives of the people were reassured and lulled. everything was under control for years, the nuclear soup, the rotten a-barrels in the asse, the remains of 78,000 tons of low- and intermediate-level waste, languishing in 1,700 rusted barrels in so-called interim storage facilities on the site near leopoldshafen, european nuclear research continues to be carried out at the itu and radioactive waste continues to be generated! now two new interim storage facilities are needed again for the demolition of the irradiated buildings from 50 years of nuclear research, cynically called the “konrad shaft provision halls”. citizens received a glossy brochure from the wak, currently new, with an invitation to a citizens' forum on november 19th, where citizens can voice their questions in advance in writing or via the internet, presumably in order to then process them publicly in the usual "we've thought of everything" manner, as we know from the past. you are right mr. oberacker, dialogue at eye level is different. the office for radiation protection baden-württemberg, the report from the ökoinstitut darmstadt is being tried, perhaps you should consult the cancer registry of baden-württemberg or doctors. where it says eco, it doesn't always mean eco, it's more of a courtesy - the ministry of the environment would have saved an environmental audit that it doesn't consider necessary, that should set off alarm bells for citizens! citizens would have a lot to fear if the so-called “freely measured construction rubble”, which is not normal construction rubble, was sent to normal landfills, because not even the landfill operators believe in the harmless measurements! the metal that is supposed to be further processed in the "normal economic cycle is a scandal. what is burned, what would then come out of the wak's chimneys, would be another, because even the latest filter technology does not hold back all the substances that do not belong in the polluted breathing air. a throwback to the 70s, the policy of high chimneys, the dilution of pollutants and discharge into the rhine, was for a long time the most convenient and cheapest of all disposal solutions, the population should be aware of that ensure that in the future there will no longer be widespread disposal of “clearly measured building rubble” – site of road construction. brigitte schilli eggenstein-leopoldshafen
