Asse is supplied with construction material for stabilisation
Since this week, Asse GmbH has been supplied with salt which is used for producing a special type of concrete. With the concrete residual cavities (so-called roof clefts) are backfilled which had formed since the chambers had previously been backfilled with loose salt powder. The purpose of this measure is to stabilise the mine. Only chambers are backfilled where no radioactive waste has been stored. None of the three currently discussed decommissioning options is prejudiced with the stabilisation of the mine.
