    of nuclear fuel for research purposes” and “facilities for splitting nuclear fuel for the commercial generation of electricity” are not legally defined in either the current or the new version of the Atomic Energy Act or the Site Selection Act. This is neither “science-based” from a scientific nor a legal perspective and is certainly not “transparent”. Most notably...

    must be based on the fact that the costs of disposal of spent fuel and radioactive waste are borne by those who produced this material. The German Atomic Energy Act (AtG) also expressly states in Section 2d Paragraph 1 Number 5 that “the costs of disposing of spent fuel and radioactive waste are borne by the waste producers”. § 9a paragraph 1...

    of nuclear waste but only permitted for research reactors. However, the AVR is an experimental reactor for commercial electricity generation (1967 – 1988). The export is therefore illegal. In order to circumvent the current nuclear law, the AVR (Arbeitsgemeinschaft VersuchsReaktor) is now to be boldly re-declared as a research reactor. The same applies to the 305 Castors from the disused...

    I don't see any serious indications of such a re-entry in Germany at the moment. The construction of a new nuclear reactor for commercial energy production is excluded by the Atomic Energy Act §7 AtG Paragraph 1. New research reactors, however, could continue to be built. However, a new high-temperature reactor research reactor would...
