Eck strengthens the BfS in the retrieval of the Asse waste

Graduate engineer Dr. Detlev Eck strengthens the Federal Office for Radiation Protection’s team dealing with the fact inquiry for the retrieval of the waste. The 57-year-old expert will take over the project management for the task. Among others, Eck was operational director at the Jülich Research Center for many years. In this function, he was also responsible for the fields of dismantling, waste management and radiation protection.

In 2008/2009, Eck was Chief Executive Officer of Asse GmbH for six months. In this function, he organised the transition of the Asse from the former operator Helmholtz to the BfS. Eck also made a comprehensive contribution to throwing light on what had happened in the Asse mine.

Currently, he is heading a working group examining on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) the radioactive inventory stored in the Asse mine.

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.
