Two new measuring points around the Asse mine

With immediate effect, two new measuring points are available around the Asse mine to monitor environmental radioactivity. According to information provided by the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS), the probes were installed within a radius of 25 km in the villages of Cremlingen-Schandelah, and Schöppenstedt.

You can call up the measured values in the Internet:

Nationwide, there are approximately 1,800 measuring points. The Federal Centre for the Monitoring of Radioactivity (ZdB) at BfS checks the data and then processes it in the form of tables for each measuring point. Thus, every citizen can catch up promptly on the current radiation exposure in the direct vicinity. Around the Asse mine, there have so far been measuring points in Kissenbrück, Wolfenbüttel, Ingeleben, Hornburg, Königslutter, and on the mine premises themselves.

Transfer of operator responsibilities

On 25 April 2017, the operator responsibilities for the Asse II mine as well as the Konrad and Morsleben repositories were transferred to the Federal Company for Radioactive Waste Disposal (Bundesgesellschaft für Endlagerung mbH, BGE). Previously, the responsibility for the projects was with the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS). The foundations for the change of operatorship are laid down in the "Act on the Realignment of the Organisational Structures in the Field of Radioactive Waste Disposal", which became effective on 30 July 2016. The BfS focusses on the federal tasks of radiation protection, for example in the field of defence against nuclear hazards, medical research, mobile communication, UV protection or the measuring networks for environmental radioactivity.
