Further suggestions are to be included in Asse decommissioning options
The Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) is currently examining the three decommissioning options of retrieval, relocation, and complete backfilling for the Asse mine. It had been planned to present the result of this decision-making process to the public still in this year. BfS complies with the request of, among others, the Asse II Accompanying Group to examine further suggestions and references and to come to an agreement. Therefore, one aims at announcing the result in January 2010 following another meeting with the Accompanying Group. In the following months, this result will be discussed with all parties involved prior to entering the official procedure with a proposal for decommissioning.
