Informative Meeting on the Comparison of Options for Decommissioning the Asse II Mine on 18 January 2010

begin 2010.01.18 06:00 PM
end 2010.01.18
location Wolfenbüttel, Lindenhalle

On Monday, 18 January 2010, the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) presented the result of the comparison of options to the public. More than 500 visitors used the opportunity to catch up on the issue in the Lindenhalle and to pose questions.

According to the present state of knowledge, the best variant of how to further deal with the radioactive waste emplaced in the Asse II mine is retrieving the waste. In a previously determined methodical procedure within the scope of the comparison of options, BfS compared the complete backfilling of the mine, the retrieval of radioactive waste, and its relocation into deeper mine areas and professionally evaluated the options.

BfS President Wolfram König and the BfS heads of department Michael Hoffmann and Gerald Kirchner explained the result. This was followed by a panel discussion. Moderated by NDR journalist Thorsten Hapke, BfS President König, Ministerialdirigent in the Federal Environment Ministry Alexander Spinczyk-Rauch, Landrat Jörg Röhmann, Regina Bollmeier, Mayor of the Asse joint community, Michael Fuder from Asse II-Koordinationskreis, and Bernd Strampe, head of Asse GmbH works council, discussed the result. Following this discussion, the citizens had the opportunity to pose questions to the panel.

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.
