Topping-out ceremony for the mine head bath and canteen building

Morsleben Repository Topping-out ceremony for the new mine head bath and canteen building in Morsleben

The topping-out wreath was placed on the new building of the mine head bath and canteen building in Morsleben on 28 August. The existing mine head bath and canteen rooms of the Bartensleben mine as part of the Morsleben repository for radioactive waste (ERAM) are replaced by the new building. Reconstructing the old rooms would have been uneconomical. In particular the energetic building situation did no longer correspond with today's requirements.

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.
