Peter Jelinek-Fink

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Jelinek-Fink (* December 7, 1929 - November 15, 2006 ) was an Austrian engineer.

Studied and worked in Jülich

He studied electrical engineering at the Technical University of Vienna and passed the examination to become a graduate engineer. In the Nuclear Research Center Jülich he earned from 1957 to 1967 basic knowledge in the field of nuclear fuel and fuel cycle.

Tasks at NUKEM, Urenco and Uranit

He then went to NUKEM GmbH in Hanau from 1967 and was involved in developing NUKEM's services until 1969. In 1973 he took a position on the management board, since Heinz Schimmelbusch had left the company for reasons of age at the end of 1972.

After the treaty of the Netherlands, the Federal Republic of Germany and Great Britain in Almelo of 1970, Urenco was founded in August 1971 . Uranit GmbH was a shareholder of Urenco and operated the Gronau uranium enrichment plant from 1985 . When Uranit started business, Jelinek-Fink became its technical director. When Günther Wirths gave up his position as first Chairman at Urenco, Jelinek-Fink also took over his duties. Also at Urenco Ltd. in Marlow , he was first Chairman and later President of Urenco Inc. in Washington, DC from 1977

Transnuclear and NUKEM affair

In March 1987, as a result of an investigation in the Transnuklear Hanau (TNH) facility, irregularities in the radioactive waste department were revealed . The Nukem was involved in this affair because the TNH had transported radioactive waste on behalf of the NUKEM. This was followed by a report by a journalist in January 1988, in which it was alleged that enriched fissile material had been brought from NUKEM holdings to Libya or Pakistan. As a consequence, the Hessian state government demanded a leave of absence for members of the management board, Jelinek-Fink and Karl-Gerhard Hacksteinn .

After these allegations could be refuted, rehabilitation for Jelinek-Fink and Hackstein took place on May 18, 1988 . Then Jelinek-Fink ended his activities at NUKEM. As a result, he took over the management of Urenco's Washington liaison office in 1988. At the magazine atomwirtschaft / atomtechnik he contributed his knowledge to the advisory board of the editors.
