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). This website of the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) will therefore no longer be updated and displays the status as on 24 April 2017.

Opening: Great day for INFO KONRAD

On Thursday, 15th May, 2008, things had progressed to the point that the new information centre of the Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz (Federal Office for Radiation Protection), the INFO KONRAD, opened. Accompanied by TV-teams, a lot of journalists, many guests, and almost 100 demonstrators in front of the building criticising the planned repository, the INFO KONRAD started their work. Furthermore, the first visitors from Salzgitter took a look at the pit models, the presentation boards, the so-called „Gläserne Galerie“ (glass gallery), the KONRAD-movie, and the touch screens.

Since then, the information-centre has been offering a variety of information in the middle of Salzgitter-Lebenstedt close to the city-hall, Chemnitzer Straße 27. Led by the motto „Wir haben etwas zu entsorgen, aber nichts zu verbergen“ (We´ve got something to dispose but nothing to hide) the INFO Konrad staff answer all questions about presentation boards and models or explain the possibilities of how to visit the pit.

INFO KONRAD opening hours are Monday to Wednesday from 10am to 5pm, Tuesday and Friday from 9am to 5pm, Thursday from 10am to 7pm, and Saturday from 10am to 2pm. On request groups and classes can also arrange different opening hours. Questions about the appointment coordination of pit visits or anything else will be answered by the INFO KONRAD, phone: +049 05341 8673099.

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.
