The BfS sees its findings confirmed

Result of the Helmholtz report taken into account when planning the trial phase

Today, the Federal Office for Radiation Protection received the findings from a subsequent survey of the waste inventory by the former Asse operator, the Helmholtz Zentrum München. A first review revealed that the report confirms the subsequent waste survey carried out by the Federal Office itself. The 4,000-page report (including appendix) records the discrepancy between the information provided at the time by the waste deliverer and the actual content of the crates. Security measures for the investigation of individual waste chambers, which are currently being prepared, take into the account the increased radioactivity of the waste inventory, presented in the report.

The report on the inventory contributes towards taking the necessary security measures during retrieval to ensure the safety of both public and staff.

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.
