Members of Widekind Lodge visit Konrad
On St. Nicholas Day members of the Widekind Lodge visited the Konrad information centre.
The members of the Wideking Lodge brought lots of different questions to the Konrad information centre: What about the Konrad geology? Would the repository also be suitable for high-level radioactive waste? And why is granite discussed as a storage medium although it tends to form clefts? And what about the cases of leukaemia around the Asse mine which are frequently being discussed by the press?
The Widekind Lodge is a humanitarian association and is part of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows acting world-wide. The Order’s symbol are three chain links symbolically presenting the mottos “friendship”, “love” and “truth”. The Widekind Lodge holds a legal estate willed to it by the couple Julius and Anna Staats which is used for relief projects. Thus, around 40,000 euros have been spent in this way since 1991.
