Mar 05 Pre-conference dialogue meeting on radioactive waste

Today DR P4 Bornholm writes that Danish Decommissioning will not discuss nuclear waste technology in public. For the record, we must point out that this is not correct.

I Contrary to what DR P4 Bornholm writes, DD we often do so. This would also be evident if you heard the interview in its entirety. We have not rejected participation in the conference in question on 24 March, but we wanted a prior dialogue on, among other things, the preconditions for a working paper prepared by the German Öko Institute by Gerhard Schmidt. The reason is that the working paper contains conclusions which immediately surprise us and which we have also commented on in the newspaper Informationin the past.

We consider it appropriate to have a direct dialogue with the organizers and Gerhard Schmidt on the technical and professional details, so as to avoid a debate based on misunderstandings and lack of knowledge of each other's assumptions. In other words, we have tried to have a dialogue meeting with the organizers, because we want to get smarter, because we do not know Gerhard Schmidt's prerequisites for writing his working paper.

A conference typically consists of a number of limited presentations, and at the dialogue meeting we would like to do more in depth with the professional substance than a half-day conference allows.

We therefore look forward to holding a technical and technical dialogue meeting with the organisers of the conference and Gerhard Schmidt on 16 March
