ABSTRACT

Until the great accident of Tchernobyl, I was a supporter of the

atomic energy. I trusted those experts that had told us their ideology

of a “safe nuclear energy”. As a TV journalist and member of a

conservative Party, the CDU in Germany, I was blindly believing the

energy experts. But the disaster of Tchernobyl was a wake up call

and eventually I started to make up my mind seriously. Tchernobyl

was my “Damascus event”.
