  22. Fukushima↔Chernobyl

  23. Fakten • Das Japan Desaster ist eine Folge des Erdbebens der Stärke 9. • Der Zumani ist eine Folge davon. • Die Probleme mit den Kernkraftwerken sind ebenfalls eine Folge davon.

  24. Press Articles „on Fukushima“: until 14.04.2011 Germany43.640 All other EU member states 9.300 Source: Meltwater News

  25. Consequences • Increasing safety • passive safety measures • Man independent safety features • Increasing time for passive safety handling • Construction accepting large accidents • Standardisation, Modul Structure • Improving economic factors

  26. European Pressured Water Reactor - EPR melted core pot
