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.

Effectual Open Day

Numerous local citizens used the Open Day of the Federal Office for Radiation Protection last Saturday to catch up, for example on the protection from ultraviolet solar radiation, the effects of mobile telecommunication, X-ray diagnostics for medical purposes, the protection from enhanced natural radioactivity, and the various BfS repository projects.

Also INFO KONRAD, the information centre for the planned Konrad repository, opened between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and drew large crowds. Many people came to catch up on the state of affairs regarding the Konrad repository. Approximately 120 visitors took on the offer and visited the Konrad mine. The one-hour-tour underground delivered insight how people work in a depth of 1000 metres.

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.
