in Lingen liegt direkt neben dem stillgelegten Atomkraftwerk Emsland. Das Herzstück des Zwischenlagers ist eine mehrfach gesicherte Halle aus Stahlbeton. Dort stehen derzeit 47 blaue Castorbehälter mit insgesamt rund 900 abgebrannten, aber noch immer hoch radioaktiven Brennstäben. Die sechs Meter hohen Zylinder sind elektronisch überwacht und doppelt gedeckelt. "Der Behälter selbst ist der...
The Federal Agency for Final Storage (BGE), which is responsible for the search, announced this a year ago. This means that safe final disposal will be postponed until well into the 22nd century. [...] 1900 Castor containers serve as a final barrier against violence or fire. The spent fuel rods are repacked into these massive, six-meter-tall steel containers before being stored. In each...
take place. The initiatives “No nuclear waste in Ahaus”, “Stop Westcastor” and “Münsterland against nuclear plants” reacted with sharp criticism against two further test transports with empty Castor containers from Jülich to Ahaus. The initiatives point out that the former operators of the AVR reactor were responsible for the approximately 300.000 fuel balls in the 152 Jülich castors “until final storage...
"The highly radioactive waste can be removed from the interim storage facilities in the 2060s". And it will probably take another 30 years to empty all the interim storage facilities and bring the castor containers to the final storage facility. Until then, the interim storage will consume a lot of money. This is how the costs amount the BGZ last year to 271 million euros... * August 29, 1949 (1....

the nuclear industry - worldwide - and so we in Germany have definitely not yet reached the end of our exit efforts. Because as long as more and more radiant nuclear waste is transported around the area in castor containers, by truck, ship or train - and in the best case scenario is only reprocessed into fresh fuel for nuclear power plants all over the world - we can still achieve our goal...
Garbage should be disposed of – as long as a certain limit value is not exceeded. Just a few days ago, the news that the operator of the Gorleben interim storage facility had hoods from castor containers disposed of at a local scrap dealer caused unrest. The nuclear phase-out is not complete either: the fuel element factory in Lingen and the uranium enrichment plant in Gronau, which...

and demand a clearance. GÖTTINGEN taz | Opponents of nuclear power in Wendland are extremely irritated. It was with “great concern” that we learned from the local press that transport casings from Castor containers were being disposed of in a normal scrapyard without having been cleared beforehand, says Wolfgang Ehmke, spokesman for the Citizens' Initiative (BI) for Environmental Protection Lüchow-Dannenberg....

Castor containers have been intended to protect against radiation from nuclear fuel elements for many decades. But can they do it for so long? Like a project that's supposed to figure this out now. What happens to highly radioactive nuclear waste if it has been left for 40 years...
become. The BUND in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is therefore calling for more security in the form of a so-called “hot cell”. This is a shielded room in which castor containers can be opened and repaired remotely. “Hot cell” not required by law Such a “hot cell” must be installed in the planned warehouse for castors, which will be opened in Lubmin in 2024...

There are currently 35 castor containers there in which the highly radioactive waste is stored. All 2025 Castors from the power plant are to be brought there by 83.

This is how you could describe the process that started last weekend. Ten years ago, the Bundestag also realized that storing the Castor containers with the spent fuel in the Gorleben salt dome would be irresponsible. A repository commission was then set up, which suggested a search process and...

The new Jülich disposal company for nuclear systems mbH (JEN) was founded. She is responsible for the dismantling of the AVR and for the further handling of the approximately 300 fuel elements stored in 000 castor containers. “In order to shed light on this, we have now sent the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) a very specific list of questions,” says Peter Bastian.

The Castor containers are above ground. The hall is an interim storage facility, currently without a permit. Rainer Moormann thinks so Everything is a “total debacle.” He criticizes the fact that in Jülich people are giving in to the many open...
THTR Newsletter No. 137 December 2011
Intermediate storage containers are approved. But not as final storage containers. Do the 612.000 fuel elements balls have to be repacked into completely new castor containers that are ready for final storage before they go to the final storage facility? This would increase costs and effort considerably. In any case, the federal government cannot make any statements about this today. Surely there is now a feverish search...

High-temperature reactor in so-called decommissioning operation. Dismantling it will be a dangerous and expensive affair. And the 305 Castor containers with the THTR fuel elements from Hamm are now located in the Ahaus interim fuel storage facility. Unfortunately, you can't simply "switch off" anything here. At most, discuss the least dangerous way out of this situation. Because of...

THTR fuel assemblies will perhaps be sent on a risky journey again this year, 2009, but certainly in 2010. Possibly through the Ruhr area. It is the 152 balls from the small THTR stored in 300.000 Castor containers at the Jülich Research Center that are to be transported to Ahaus. On Sunday, December 20, 2009 at 14 p.m. there will be a...
