February 09, 2021 - nuclear waste - repository wanted
Simulated public participation: on the weekend, the “Specialist Conference Sub-Areas” discussed for the first time. The Federal Atomic Waste Agency is in charge of the direction
Germany is looking for a nuclear waste repository. This is how you could describe the process that started last weekend. Ten years ago, it was also recognized in the Bundestag that storing the castor casks with the spent fuel elements in the Gorleben salt dome would be irresponsible. A repository commission was then set up, which proposed a search process and the Bundestag then passed the Site Selection Act (StandAG). The Federal Society for Disposal (BGE) subsequently drew up a report on the parts of the federal territory that are fundamentally suitable for the location of a repository. This is now open for public consultation...

IMHO
A central repository ...? Unacceptable, not just for Bavaria, but for any region that could be affected in the distant future. The existing intermediate storage facilities for nuclear waste will be with us for many decades to come. So it seems to me much more realistic to equip the existing locations as securely as possible, to regularly check and improve their security. There is no such thing as an eternally safe repository, there is an existential problem that we have tackled, take with us into the future and have to deal with!

Search for a final repository after the nuclear phase-out
Unsolved repository issue
The search for repositories is an unsolved problem worldwide. After the nuclear waste was initially dumped in the oceans or pumped into the earth, it is currently being deposited in interim storage facilities. Many countries are only gradually becoming aware of the issue and are trying to find solutions.
In Germany, the problem of final disposal and the resulting costs were recognized by the energy industry as early as the 1950s. As a result, without a systematic and scientific selection process, supposed candidates for repositories were repeatedly "found" by politics and the nuclear industry, which failed for various reasons: Gorleben, Asse, Morsleben. Only the Konrad shaft went through a complete nuclear process and was confirmed by the Federal Constitutional Court ...

Search for a repository in Germany
The search for a repository is intended to find a suitable location in a deep geological formation for a repository for high-level radioactive waste. The search process for the Federal Republic of Germany is described in the Site Selection Act, which was amended in mid-2017. The main criteria were previously drawn up by the Commission for the Storage of Highly Radioactive Waste from 2014 to mid-2016.
The final disposal process is divided into the “stages” selection of the disposal facility, construction of the disposal facility, storage of the radioactive waste and closure of the mine.
The site selection should be divided into the three phases selection of the site region, surface and underground exploration.
At the same time as the technical selection process, a multi-stage, democratically legitimized decision-making and conflict management process is proposed with the aim of enabling the broadest possible and generational consensus ...

Federal Society for Final Disposal
The Bundesgesellschaft für Endlagerung mbH (BGE) based in Peine is a federally owned company founded in July 2016. It was founded on the basis of the law passed in 2016 on the reorganization of the organizational structure in the area of final disposal. As a designated developer and operator of final storage facilities for radioactive waste, it belongs as a public company to the business area of the Federal Ministry for the Environment. The licensing and supervisory authority is the Federal Office for the Safety of Nuclear Waste Management (BASE).
Your statutory tasks are the search for a repository for highly radioactive nuclear waste and the operation of the repository. Asse-GmbH, the German Society for the Construction and Operation of Repositories for Waste Materials mbH and parts of the Federal Office for Radiation Protection were merged into it on December 20, 2017 ...
