Online lecture: 30 October 2025 | 11:00 - 12:30 a.m. Clean as a whistle or back to zero - that is the goal of chemical decontamination in nuclear facilities. The removal of radioactive deposits, the reduction of contamination and the dose rate form the basis for safe maintenance measures, efficient dismantling and, above all, successful decommissioning.

Online lecture: 24 October 2025 | 11:00 - 12:30 What does cheap energy have to do with fair wages? Why is Germany an increasingly unattractive location for many companies? And what role does nuclear energy play in a sustainable, economically viable energy system? Prof. Dr Gösta Jamin - financial economist and university lecturer - analyses the Read more
Setting the course for the final disposal of highly radioactive waste in Germany The decisive factors are geology and technology - or rather politics? The history of final storage in Germany includes the exploration of the Gorleben-Rambow salt dome and the development of POLLUX® final storage containers. However, it also includes social conflicts, hardened fronts and controversial, not always objective discussions. Read more
Not just for emergencies - nuclear power plant simulators in the training of reactor operators How do you educate and train people who are allowed to monitor and control the highly complex process of a nuclear power plant together? In his keynote speech, Frieder Hecker, a long-standing instructor at the former simulator centre in Essen, gives personal insights into the construction and operation of nuclear power plants.

Radiation - from spectre to health factor? Radiation - hardly any other term evokes greater fears. But how good is our knowledge of the health effects really? And what if low-level radiation is beneficial rather than harmful? In this online lecture, Dr Walter Rüegg takes you on a fact-based journey Read more
EROI as a measure of prosperity and sustainability How much energy is produced during the lifetime of an energy source - compared to all that is needed to build, operate and dismantle it? The so-called energy harvest factor (or "energy return on investment", EROI for short) provides a tangible answer to this question and is one that is often overlooked, Read more
Nuclear technology in schools - with your expertise! We are building a Germany-wide network of speakers for teaching and are looking for people from the field of nuclear technology who are willing to pass on their knowledge. In the "School education in nuclear technology" project, we want to provide real insights into an often distorted topic from year 9 onwards, free from Read more
Voices of nuclear technology Nuclear technology is multifaceted. And it has many faces. As the Nuclear Society, we would like to use a campaign format to focus on the people who have shaped this industry - whether still active today or recently retired. With the "Voices of Nuclear Technology" series, we cordially invite you to Read more
Dual Fluid - A highly efficient reactor Nuclear energy can do more - much more. The dual fluid reactor represents a radically new approach: compact, powerful, efficient. Instead of relying on proven but limited technologies, this concept goes one step further - with extremely high power density, a smaller reactor core and therefore completely new Read more
Excursion to Wismut GmbH in Schlema-Alberoda Following this year's general meeting of the Nuclear Society, participants had the opportunity to visit the Schlema-Alberoda remediation site of Wismut GmbH. As a participant, I was impressed by the depth of the insights - both into the eventful history of uranium mining in the GDR Read more
