Construction of technical facilities and infrastructure (underground facilities)

The concept for the retrieval of the radioactive waste from the Asse mine provides for recovering the waste from the emplacement chambers underground by remote control. Subsequently the waste is to be placed into transport casks and prepared for the transport above ground. For these operations, technical facilities and devices and the necessary infrastructure need to be planned, purchased and established.

Status of planning

The planning work for the technical facilities and underground facilities and infrastructure areas will be tendered. For this it will be necessary to include the results from the inquiry of facts from the emplacement chambers since these facts provide the basic boundary conditions for the planning.
