Field study in the environs of the nuclear power plant Gundremmingen in Germany

 

In 2001 a group of German anti-nuclear activists, Forum e.V. gemeinsam gegen das Zwischenlager und für eine verantwortbare Energiepolitik (United against intermediate-range nuclear storage and for a responsible energy policy), asked me to join their forces to fight a planned intermediate-range storage facility for nuclear waste near the nuclear power plant Gundremmingen, which is northeast of the medieval town of Ulm. Together with a biologist, I would collect and study Heteroptera true bugs from the area and establish field study protocols and maps — pro bono, of course.
