Complementary Safety margin Assessment COVRA N.V. (HABOG)
Introduction Following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan, the European Council declared that “the safety of all EU nuclear power plants should be reviewed on the basis of a comprehensive and transparent risk assessment (Stress test)”. This review was later expanded to nuclear installations other than nuclear power plants. Based on th […]
The 2007 Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection
Abstract–These revised Recommendations for a System of Radiological Protection formally replace the Commission’s previous, 1990, Recommendations; and update, consolidate, and develop the additional guidance on the control of exposure from radiation sources issued since 1990. Thus, the present Recommendations update the radiation and tissue weighting factors […]
Comparison of Greenhouse-gas Emissions and Abatement Cost of Nuclear and Alternative energy Options from a Life-Cycle Perspective (updated)
1 Introduction The political, societal, and scientific debate on nuclear energy has a long history: Starting in the early 1970ies with concerns about low-level radiation, nuclear accidents, and final disposal of spent fuel, the late 1970ies focused on limited energy resources for which nuclear promised relieve in applying reprocessing with breeder cycles. In […]
Ethical, logical and scientific problems with the new ICRP proposals
Abstract Last year the ICRP proposed a new system of radiation protection designed to be simpler, more oriented toward individual protection and reflective of important ethical standards. This article argues that the proposal violates important norms of scientific simplicity, is in fact less protective of individuals than the current system and makes a numbe […]
A report on progress towards new recommendations: A communication from the International Commission on Radiological Protection
Throughout the hundred-year history of the uses of ionising radiation in medicine and industry there has been advice on the need to protect people from the hazards associated with exposure. Protection standards have evolved throughout this period to reflect both the scientific understanding of the biological effects of exposure and the social and ethical sta […]

Despite ‘termination’ NRG confirms: Still weapons-grade uranium in Dutch nuclear reactor 24 januari 2020
Despite its triumphant press release of the contrary, two years ago, NRG, the operator of the High Flux Reactor in the Netherlands, this week confirmed Laka’s suspicion that NRG is still using weapons-grade highly enriched uranium in its reactor. Therefore, the Netherlands is currently in breach of […]
Febr. 5: The aftermath of Fukushima 10 januari 2019
It has been almost eight years since the Tohoku earthquake and Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan. Oshidori Mako and Ken are Japanese comedians who have kept track of the aftermath of Fukushima. In 2019, they will visit the Netherlands, Germany and France to hold lectures to give us an insight into […]
Laka releases IAEA-list with (near) accidents in nuclear power stations 1 juni 2017
Today, the Laka-foundation released a list with reports from almost 1,000 incidents and (near) accidents with nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities. Since 1990 the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA has gathered these reports. The full list of reports gives neighbors, NGO’s and jour […]
Nuclear reactors and the fading business case of medical isotope irradiation 18 april 2017
As you might know, nuclear rectors are also being used in the production chain of isotopes. In the Netherlands, there is currently a plan to build a new research reactor, Pallas, as the successor of the EC-owned High Flux Reactor in Petten. We see there is a strong tie between the community operatin […]
Neerlands hoogradioactief afval in Slovenië? 17 februari 2010
Volgens de Britse krant The Times kan de Europese Commissie dit jaar al groen licht geven voor een project om hoogradioactief afval van een aantal landen (waaronder Nederland) op te slaan in een 'central underground storage facility'. In het begin van de jaren '80 stelde VVD'er P […]
