[en] Negative criticism on the judgment of the administrative court at Freiburg concerning PV burst protection for the Kernkraftwerk Whyl, and the effects of the judgment on the development of nuclear energy in the FRG. (HP)

[en] Cited without comment from the back of the cover: 'According to Article 17 (right to file petitions) of the Basic Law of the FRG, everybody has the right, either alone or together with others, to address written requests and complaints to the competent authorities and to the parliament. The present petition to the Baden-Wuerttemberg parliament is the first petition to be printed in book form. The author examines official publications by the Federal Government and the Baden-Wuerttemberg government, propaganda pamphlets by the power industry and statements by politicians and scientists and, on the basis of these, makes critical remarks against nuclear energy as the most dangerous technology of our time. In connexion with a series of questions all of which are of supraregional importance, the petition gives important facts which cost doubt upon the view propagated by nuclear industry and the State that 'there's nothing better under the sun than nuclear energy and nothing could possibly go wrong with it.' The large nuclear power station planned at Wyhl/Baden is used as an example to demonstrate that an inadequate and insufficient discussion of the problems of industrial application of nuclear energy and misleading and false information to the population only serve to provoke the citizens to resistance and to undermine their confidence in government and parliament.'

[en] The higher administrative court of Baden-Wuerttemberg has, with its decision of January 19th, 1977 - X 1408/76 - expressed doubts about the exclusion effect of sub-section 1, section 3 of the Nuclear Installations Ordinance of May 20th, 1960, version of Oct. 29th, 1970, when it examined the admissibility of the action by a community against the first partial construction licence for the Kernkraftwerk Wyhl. The decision of the Federal administrative court in this matter not having been made yet, the 'question concerning the exclusion effect of sub-section 1, section 3 Nuclear Installations Ordinance would have to undergo for the time being an examination of substantiation.' Judgement was passed without an oral session. Appeal was granted. The judgment also deals in detail with the right of communities to file a suit. (orig./HP)

[en] The decisions concerns fundamental declarations made on the procedural rights of the individual. It would lead to a reversal of the rights to participate and to be involved in these procedures into duties of the individual. The author rejects the result of and the grounds given for, the decision, but he positively assesses the fact that it basically adopted the decision of the Federal Court of Administration on the importance of basic rights in legal procedures.

[en] This publication deals with the decision of March 30, 1982 of the Superior Administrative Court of Mannheim, dismissing the action for annulment of the first part-construction permit for Wyhl nuclear power plant. The publication discusses that part of the Court's statements dealing with the term nuclear installation within the purview of the Atomic Energy Act, section 7, sub-section (1). According to the statement, the term ''nuclear installation for the fission of nuclear fuel'' includes not only that part of an installation where fission takes place but also those components including the surrounding buildings which serve the nuclear purpose of the installation and which thus are subject to the same standards and regulations relating to safety engineering and air pollution control. This definition includes switchgear buildings, reactor auxiliary equipment buildings, the engine house, and cooling water systems including cooling towers. (CB)

[en] Presentation and discussion of the leading statements of the decision delivered by the Mannheim Superior Administrative Court on March 30, 1982 concerning the Wyhl nuclear power plant, unit 1. With this decision, covering 548 pages, the Superior Administrative Court changed the decision of the Freiburg Administrative Court of the year 1977 and finally dismissed the action for annulment of the construction licence. The Superior Administrative Court acted upon the appeal brought in by the Land and the plant operator, Kernkraftwerksgesellschaft. (CB)

[en] If no objections are raised during the period allowed for raising them, this will result in the preclusion of objections. This preclusion of objections has to be considered in lawsuits held at administrative courts. Doubts concerning its constitutionality are not opposed to this. No one may refer to a reinstatement possibly granted by the licensing authority. The fact that land was allocated in the course of consolidating landholdings after the licence appealed against had been granted does not lead to reinstatement. (orig.)

[en] The Freiburg Administration Court has rejected, with its judgment of April 8th, 1976 - VS II 37/75 - the action of an opponent of nuclear energy against the first partial licence for the Kernkraftwerk Wyhl in Baden as the deadline for lodging objections according to section 1 of article 3 AtAnVO had run out. The grounds upon which the judgment was based are given in full. (orig./HP)
