Visit to the historical exhibition at the INFO MORSLEBEN with exhibit in the foreground

Morsleben Repository Opening of the historical exhibition

The Morsleben repository for radioactive waste has a colourful history: Potash and rock salt mining, armaments production during the Nazi era, livestock farming and toxic-waste dump in the GDR and, since 1979, radioactive waste repository. The historical reappraisal has led to a new permanent exhibition narrating and analysing the comprehensive development of the facility as a whole to date. The presentation was designed and drawn up with the assistance of an expert advisory board. Since 26 January 2016, it can be visited permanently at the Morsleben information centre.

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.
