Herman Damveld
has been working on nuclear energy since 1976. He developed an interest
in the subject when there were plans for the storage of nuclear waste in
the northern Dutch salt domes, and plans for a nuclear power plant at the
Eemshaven, near the Waddensea. Since the early ‘80s, he has given many
lectures on these subjects, under a Broad Societal Discussion on nuclear
energy. In recent years, he has worked as an independent researcher and
publicist, and has written a number of books about nuclear energy, the
disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (on request of Greenpeace),
and the storage of nuclear waste. Hundreds of his articles have been published
in weekly magazines and regional newspapers.
Robert Jan van den
Berg is an employee of the Laka Foundation, the documentation and research
centre on nuclear energy. Laka maintains an extensive archive on nuclear
energy and related matters. Laka gives information and advise to media,
scholars, individuals, etc. In cooperation with his colleagues, Van den
Berg has, among others, published articles on the greenhouse effect and
on nuclear energy, the airplane crash on Amsterdam’s Bijlmer district,
the dismantling of a research complex in Amsterdam, and the dismantling
of nuclear weapons.
