For decades, Jochen Stay has campaigned as an activist and author for an end to nuclear power – especially with the Castor transports to Wendland. He has now died at the age of 56.
Stay died at the weekend at his home in Suerhop in the Harburg district “suddenly and much too early,” as the anti-nuclear organization “broadcast” announced on Tuesday. As a co-founder and spokesman for the association, he worked to make the nuclear-critical attitude of many people visible. “Stay thus became the mouthpiece for hundreds of thousands of opponents of nuclear power,” the organization said.

Stay organized sit-ins at Castor transports
According to “broadcast”, the native of Mannheim had been involved in the movement since the 80s. From the mid-1990s, he organized non-violent sit-ins against Castor transports to what was then the Gorleben interim camp with the “X-thousand times across” campaign, in which thousands of people took part. In 2010, Stay organized a 120-kilometer human chain between the Brunsbüttel and Krümmel nuclear power plants.
