BfS denies speculation by Eckert & Ziegler
The Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) does not intend to have the Asse waste managed by Eckert & Ziegler Strahlen- und Medizintechnik AG, headquartered in Berlin. Thus, a BfS spokesman has denied a corresponding speculation of the company which was disseminated by Börse Online on 25 March. The online magazine mentioned that the company from Berlin was confident to be involved in the remediation of the Asse mine, since one of its branches was situated in Braunschweig. "We do not intend to treat or store the Asse waste in a facility belonging to a company in Braunschweig," the BfS spokesman said.
