Uranium in drinking water: Solutions made in Germany

Remember the scandal news of high Uranium levels in Germany’s drinking water HERE

The Consmer Protection Organisation “FOODWATCH” (web) discorvered, that of 8000 examined data 950 have more than 2 microgram of Uranium in one liter - that’s breaking the tolerance limit. Uranium in drinking water is dangerous for babies.

Adding to this: 150 data values are above the limit of 10 (!) microgram per liter. Is this still drinking water?

Worst of all: The German Authorities did not inform the German people about the Uranium in German drinking water – never did.

Only Foodwatch did it.

So, I sent them an E-Mail on August 7th 2008 regarding the shocking news of Uranium in drinking water. This was my Mail:

And this is their answer:

There are companies which are specialized in filtering Uranium out of the drinking water, for example Krueger Wabag – web

They use Uranex devices.

Belarus and Chernobyl: Happy Birthday to Prof. Dr. Gruschewaja

Prof. Dr. Irina Gruschewaja is one of the first persons being active in the non-government Chernobyl movement since the atomic reactor explosion in 1986. So far she has helped over two million people in Belarus with vacations for Chernobyl vicitims, gifts, medicine and goods from international givers, she has spoken infront of various international audiences about Chernoby, atomic power and it’s consequences. Now, she turned 60 years – which are indeed 60 years of humanitarian, independent and renewable power especially for the children and the future. I’ve met her several times in Germany and Belarus and I’m still impressed like from the first day on when I had met here in Minsk / Belarus. In 2006 (the 20th Chernobyl year) while staying at the German Government (Bundestag / Berlin) – I called her NGO one of the first and only true remaining Belarussian NGOs regarding Chernobyl – I did it infront of Belarussian and German politicians, guests and other NGOs – which caused a lot of evil glances and words of envier in my direction. Prof. Dr. Irina Gruschewaja was indeed nominated for the peace nobel prize, but we all know who got it in 2006: The IAEA – the same Association which denies any link between Chernobyl / radiation and illness and death.

So, what can I say? If you want to congratulate too, visit her website: Irina-Gruschewaja.de

It reads:

The only true propaganda in Belarus

Irina Gruschewaja – 60 years of renewable energy

Germany’s radioactive waste disposal Asse 2: Scandal news

Germany, federal State “Niedersachsen”, radioactive waste disposal Asse II, Sept. 4th 2008. Source

130,000 barrels of middle and low radiative waste, kilograms of Plutonium and Caesium 147 – 750 meters below.  Asse 2 was and is the world’s first underground disposal for radioactive waste. And then this scandal:

Long lasting leak in Asse II

Now, Germany’s environmental minister Sigmar Gabriel takes over the Asse II disposal – the federal environmental agency “Bundesumweltministerium” is now responsible for Asse II. The new operator is the federal agency for radiation protection Germany – web - known from their KiKK study.

The former operators State Office for mining, energy and geology in the German federal state Niedersachsen (Landesamt für Bergbau, Energie und Geologie / LBEG) – HERE is their website and the “Helmholtz Zentrum München” / Munich – HERE is their website failed to operate the disposal properly.

Both did not react on their website.

Asse II is full of holes, as Gabriel said. He added, the cause of fault is not clear.

Let this be a learning experience for all pro atomic power activists.
