energy law stipulates that the remaining casks can no longer be moved to the Gorleben interim storage facility but must in future be stored in on-site interim storage facilities. In 2015, the Federal Ministry for the Environment submitted a return shipment concept which proved for the fair distribution across the whole of Germany of waste from reprocessed German fuel elements which is sill in storage abroad. A broad consensus was reached on the four sites to which radioactive waste will be returned: <a href=\"https:\/\/zwischenlager.info\/en\/standort\/biblis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biblis<\/a> in Hesse, <a href=\"https:\/\/zwischenlager.info\/en\/standort\/brokdorf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brokdorf<\/a> in Schleswig-Holstein, <a href=\"https:\/\/zwischenlager.info\/en\/standort\/isar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Isar <\/a>in Bavaria and <a href=\"https:\/\/zwischenlager.info\/en\/standort\/phillippsburg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Philippsburg<\/a> in Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg. Six CASTOR casks holding high-level radioactive waste from reprocessing were already returned to the Biblis interim storage facility in November 2020. Four CASTOR casks holding high-level radioactive waste from the reprocessing of German fuel elements in France were transferred to the Philippsburg interim storage facility in November 2024. Seven CASTOR casks holding high-level radioactive waste from the reprocessing of German fuel elements were transferred to the Brokdorf interim storage facility in June 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-jrq63ixw-175-ccc9dbe9b4269dc14644aca5e1b68b0b '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>There is agreement on this between the Federal Government, all participating federal state governments and the nuclear power plant operators as waste producers who are and remain responsible for the return shipment of the waste generated by them. The previous operators of the interim storage facilities submitted applications for the four on-site interim storage facilities. BGZ has managed the applicable nuclear licensing procedures since 1\u00a0January\u00a02019. It has now been decided which interim storage facilities will store high-level radioactive waste from German nuclear power plants until it is transferred to the repository. The interim storage facilities, in which high-level radioactive waste is already being stored in the form of irradiated fuel elements from each of the nuclear power plants, are technically equipped to store these casks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3rvt5h-178-1cf7edbce680f019148b7d1101b9d23b\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-3rvt5h-178-1cf7edbce680f019148b7d1101b9d23b{\nheight:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-3rvt5h-178-1cf7edbce680f019148b7d1101b9d23b hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-67  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jrrmffcw-185-5333cd25cf106d7108a118cea0d914fc\">\n.flex_column.av-jrrmffcw-185-5333cd25cf106d7108a118cea0d914fc{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:20px 20px 20px 20px;\nbackground-color:#f8f8f8;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-jrrmffcw-185-5333cd25cf106d7108a118cea0d914fc av_one_full  avia-builder-el-68  el_after_av_two_fifth  el_before_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  first flex_column_div  '     ><p><section  class='av_textblock_section av-jrrmk82p-184-04a591ca14a6bc36334a35cf22d7dca2 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>In its \u201cOverall concept for the return of vitrified radioactive waste from reprocessing\u201d of 19 June 2015, the Federal Ministry for the Environment concluded that: \u201cThe prerequisites for returning casks of vitrified wastes from reprocessing to Germany have been fulfilled.

Instead of 152 casks with intermediate-level radioactive waste, which were to be stored in the Ahaus interim storage facility, 24 empty fuel element transport casks from France are currently being

In addition, it was envisaged that 152 type TGC27 casks with compacted intermediate-level radioactive metallic waste (hulls and structural components) of fuel elements reprocessed in France would be returned and stored in the Ahaus interim storage facility.<\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>Why was a new solution needed at all?<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">Technical problems arose with the TGC27 cask design that was originally foreseen for the return of the intermediate-level radioactive waste. The Franco-German consortium commissioned by the companies was then unable to provide approved casks of this type in time. As things currently stand, return would have been delayed until well into the 2040s. A delay on this scale would have been unacceptable, especially for the French side, and they have been calling for a solution for some time.<\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>Who will pay for the new solution?<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">Germany will take back the same amount of radioactivity from France as originally agreed. Having said that, the total volume of waste will be lower and there will be fewer transports. However, the French side will incur higher final disposal costs owing to the larger volume of waste. The German energy supply companies will reimburse them for this. The German Nuclear Waste Management Fund (KENFO) will also provide funding as the costs borne by KENFO for the disposal of reprocessing waste in Germany will also be reduced. KENFO holds long-term cost responsibility for the interim and final storage of radioactive waste generated during the operation of German nuclear power plants.<br \/>\n<\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>Is the new solution a financial burden?<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">One of the reasons that the German Government is able to agree to the solution, including KENFO funding, is because it will reduce the overall financial burden on Germany.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_tab_section av_tab_section av-ljfpjrli-f8f8a61808bfb8f19adf0861f0b93853'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div id='tab-id-2-tab' class='tab' role='tab' aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\" data-fake-id='#tab-id-2' aria-controls='tab-id-2-content'  itemprop=\"headline\" ><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Questions about Ahaus<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/div><div id='tab-id-2-content' class='tab_content' role='tabpanel' aria-labelledby='tab-id-2-tab' aria-hidden=\"true\"><div class='tab_inner_content invers-color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"su-accordion su-u-trim\"><br \/>\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>What kind of casks will be coming to Ahaus from La Hague?<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">Various designs of end used casks (EUC) will be transported.

The total permissible activity of the empty, disused and internally contaminated casks licensed for interim storage in Germany is several orders of magnitude lower than that for casks loaded with spent fuel elements or with compacted intermediate-level radioactive metallic waste that were originally intended for interim storage in Ahaus.<\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>In which section of the Ahaus storage facility will the empty, disused and internally contaminated containers be stored?<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">The EUC will be stored in the area where fuel elements from nuclear power plants and research reactors are also stored in CASTOR-type casks (eastern part of the interim storage facility, storage area II). The casks are too heavy to be handled with the crane in the western part of the interim storage facility (storage area I), where low and intermediate level radioactive waste is stored.

The existing storage licence under Section 6 of the Atomic Energy Act will need to be changed for this purpose and, under Section 10a (2) of the Atomic Energy Act, extended to the interim storage of the other radioactive materials in the empty, disused and internally contaminated containers.<br \/>\n<\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>Does the settlement agreement with the Municipality of Ahaus prevent reprocessed nuclear waste being stored in Ahaus?<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">The settlement agreement excludes the interim storage of HAW glass canisters from reprocessing.

The container\u2019s lid system, which consists of solid steel lids, metal seals and screw fittings, safely and reliably encloses the radioactive waste when it is transported and stored and dissipates

while it is still fluid and then solidifies into a glass matrix. The glass canister is then sealed with a welded-on steel lid. The cylindrical glass canister has a diameter of 43 cm and a height of 134 cm. It is capable of encapsulating approximately 400 kilograms of glass mass. The high-level radioactive material is now encapsulated in the interior of the glass canister. The melting process is comparable to the colouring of glass bottles when an additive, such as iron oxide for green wine bottles or cobalt for blue vases, fuses with the glass and can no longer be separated from it, either by crushing or heating.<\/p>\n<p>This ensures that the radioactive material is securely encapsulated by the glass matrix and the welded glass canisters. A further barrier is the CASTOR cask\u2019s double-lid sealing system. The cask also reliably shields the radiation produced by the radioactive inventory.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3rvt5h-77-425b54c2d21e26b0f250c2a73e37e32e\">\n#top .hr.av-3rvt5h-77-425b54c2d21e26b0f250c2a73e37e32e{\nmargin-top:30px;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-3rvt5h-77-425b54c2d21e26b0f250c2a73e37e32e .hr-inner{\nwidth:100%;\nborder-color:#d4d4d4;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-3rvt5h-77-425b54c2d21e26b0f250c2a73e37e32e hr-custom  avia-builder-el-203  el_after_av_two_fifth  el_before_av_heading  hr-left hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-40v2kb-6db66ebea7a933e1185e468965361719\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-40v2kb-6db66ebea7a933e1185e468965361719{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-40v2kb-6db66ebea7a933e1185e468965361719 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-40v2kb-6db66ebea7a933e1185e468965361719 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-40v2kb-6db66ebea7a933e1185e468965361719 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-204  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  ><span id=\"C\">T<\/span>he approved repair concept<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-jrq63ixw-74-3d45443607ebd81ea1b98eaeb346b18d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock anleser'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>One of the main purposes of CASTOR type casks is the ongoing safe confinement of high-level radioactive material.

This concept includes extending the transport license to the outer lid. There are no known technical grounds for calling this concept into question. In the unlikely event of CASTOR<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> casks having undergone repair, BGZ has already tasked the cask manufacturer with obtaining an extension of the transport license for the

extensively involved prior to this in the framework of a strategic environmental assessment. The public consultation process enabled public authorities and ordinary citizens to give their responses to the draft programme. The strategy for the management of nuclear waste in the National Waste Management Programme for Germany was drawn up with the participation of the public and the federal states. As well as low-level and intermediate-level radioactive waste of all kinds and high-level radioactive waste from nuclear power plants, the strategy also covers waste from reprocessing. This waste will be stored in the interim storage facilities pending final disposal.<\/p>\n<p>The Site Selection Act requires that a repository site is found for high-level radioactive waste by 2031. The repository will then be licensed and built. The repository is scheduled for commissioning around the year 2050.<\/p>\n<p>The National Waste Management Programme provides for a receiving storage facility to be built at the repository site. This receiving storage facility should be licensed when the first partial license for the repository is granted \u2013 i.e. in the early 2040s. This will enable work to begin on clearing the interim storage facilities before the repository is commissioned.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmu.de\/download\/nationales-entsorgungsprogramm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The National Waste Management Programme<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3rvt5h-62-1f2ac7bb1be811904e090b1dfbe04d62\">\n#top .hr.av-3rvt5h-62-1f2ac7bb1be811904e090b1dfbe04d62{\nmargin-top:30px;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-3rvt5h-62-1f2ac7bb1be811904e090b1dfbe04d62 .hr-inner{\nwidth:100%;\nborder-color:#d4d4d4;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-3rvt5h-62-1f2ac7bb1be811904e090b1dfbe04d62 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-224  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_heading  hr-left hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k6w4707a-e2cae67687e2e5bef74336c40d2d5242\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-k6w4707a-e2cae67687e2e5bef74336c40d2d5242{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-k6w4707a-e2cae67687e2e5bef74336c40d2d5242 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-k6w4707a-e2cae67687e2e5bef74336c40d2d5242 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  id=\"dialogue\"  class='av-special-heading av-k6w4707a-e2cae67687e2e5bef74336c40d2d5242 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-225  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock  av-linked-heading'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Dialogue and transparency<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-jrq63ixw-60-a658e694a4ef4bd3a8c66b5b716d90fe '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock anleser'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>BGZ, the Federal Ministry for the Environment and the energy utilities provided information at all four sites at an early stage.
