Pursuing the progress in constructing the repository to scale

Those looking for information about the planned Konrad repository for waste with negligible heat generation and intermediate-level radioactive waste find a bulk of material at the information centre Chemnitzer Straße. Among others, a scale model of the future repository documents the construction progress.

New information on new topics

Visitors of the Konrad information centre use the Konrad model to get an idea of the mine

Updating the exhibition in the Konrad information centre has nearly been completed. Apart from information boards on geology, the state and the conversion of the repository, topics such as radiation protection, packaging and transport of the radioactive waste, and environmental monitoring are dealt with.

Animations help understand complex correlations

New animations on ionising radiation and the development of the geological situation of Konrad visualise the complex topic. On several interactive boards and one touch screen visitors can look for information themselves. Large-format photos give the visitor an idea of the mine underground and the works carried out there.

Scale model of the repository

A highlight of the exhibition is the exact model of the repository. Not only is the exact geographic location of the Konrad mine and its extension underground given on a scale of 1:2500, but also the progress in the conversion of the mine into the first repository licensed pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act. For example, the model was recently supplemented by the newly built emplacement chambers, the emplacement gallery and the new road connection from the K39 to the Konrad 2 premises.
