Organisation
The BGE is a federally owned company whose sole shareholder is the Federal Republic of Germany.
Management Board
The BGE is represented by three managing directors: Iris Graffunder, Marlis Koop and Dr Thomas Lautsch.
Supervisory Board
There is a Supervisory Board that advises and monitors the BGE Management Board and whose approval is required for certain decisions.
BGE mission statement
The mission statement was drawn up by the BGE’s employees and managers themselves, and every decision must be measured against it.

Radioactive waste
Product control
image
In Germany, radioactive waste is to be stored in repositories deep below the earth’s surface. These pages set out where radioactive waste arises, as well as what quantities and types exist.

read more

Types of waste
There is low-, medium- and high-level radioactive waste. This waste originates primarily from research and from the operation and decommissioning of nuclear power plants.
Treatment, packaging and storage
Radioactive waste can only be disposed of in properly packaged, inspected and approved containers.
Current inventory
The volume of radioactive waste will increase sharply by the middle of the century due to the dismantling of nuclear power plants.
Actors and responsibilities
Various actors are involved in the storage of radioactive waste in Germany. Find out who is responsible for what.
Repository search
Phase I Step 1: Sub-areas Research
image
The selection of a repository site for high-level radioactive waste in Germany is being carried out as a science-based, transparent and learning process. There are three eligible types of host rock.

Siting regions
Moving towards the siting regions: The aim of Step 2 of Phase I is to identify siting regions, which are to be explored above ground.
Representative preliminary safety analyses
The representative preliminary safety analyses are the first safety assessments for a repository for high-level radioactive waste.
Planning-scientific weighing criteria
The planning-scientific weighing criteria are an optional tool on the path towards identifying a repository site.
Asse
Asse II mine info centre and public tours
image
Deep underground, the Asse II mine stores 47,000 cubic metres of low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste. This is not a safe place for the waste to be. It must be retrieved, and the mine must then be decommissioned in accordance with the BGE’s legal mandate. Here, we provide an overview.

History of the Asse II mine
A view of the eventful past of the former salt mine, which was actually only intended for research into the final disposal of radioactive waste.
Radioactive waste in the Asse II mine
Around 47,000 cubic metres of low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste were emplaced in a total of 13 former mining chambers from 1967 to 1978.
Actors and tasks
The BGE is not the only actor involved in the retrieval of radioactive waste from the Asse II mine.
Main topic: 3D seismic survey
The BGE has carried out 3D seismic measurements in order to obtain data on the structure of the overburden and the geological structure.
Main topic: Salt water in the Asse mine
Water is seeping into the Asse II mine. Find out why this happens, how the water is monitored, and how much of it seeps in.
Konrad
Info centre and tours
image
At the Konrad mine in Salzgitter, Lower Saxony, work is currently underway on building Germany’s first repository for low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste to be licensed under nuclear law.

read more

History of the Konrad repository
The Konrad mine is a disused iron-ore mine. Following the initial idea of using it as a repository, it was a long time before implementation could begin.
Radioactive waste for the Konrad repository
The Konrad repository is licensed for a volume of 303,000 cubic metres of packaged low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste.
Licensing of the Konrad repository
Find out why it took around 20 years to complete the licensing procedure, which took the form of a planning assessment procedure under nuclear law.
Actors and tasks
The licensing authority, the supervisory authority, and the general public – the BGE is not the only actor involved in the construction of the Konrad repository.
On the home straight
More time is needed to complete the Konrad repository. There are various reasons for the delayed completion.
Main topic: Evaluation of the safety requirements for the Konrad repository
The review of the safety requirements (ÜsiKo) plays a central role in the construction of the Konrad repository.
Main topic: The Konrad repository – a multigenerational project
How was the Konrad repository licensed, what waste can be placed in final disposal there, and why was Konrad chosen as the site?
Morsleben
Info Morsleben and public tours
image
The Morsleben repository is the first German repository that is to be decommissioned in accordance with nuclear law and with the low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste left in place.

read more

History of the Morsleben repository
From salt mining to arms production and from chicken production to an interim storage facility for toxic waste – the eventful past of the Morsleben repository.
Radioactive waste in the Morsleben repository
The radioactive waste in the Morsleben repository comes mainly from the operation of nuclear power plants as well as from the decommissioning of nuclear facilities.
Decommissioning of the Morsleben repository
The plan is to decommission the Morsleben repository with the stored waste left in place. Find out what this entails here.
Actors and tasks
The licensing and planning authorities, the supervisory authority, and the general public – there are other actors in addition to the BGE.
Stability at Morsleben – from mine to repository
Despite decades of mining, the former potash and rock-salt mine is still stable for safe operation today. There are several reasons for this.
Prevention of mining hazards in the central part
After a scare at the end of 2001, miners backfilled old mining chambers with salt concrete. This work stabilised the pit on a lasting basis.
Operational geomechanical monitoring in Morsleben
Operational geomechanical monitoring records movements and deformations in the rock in order to assess stability.
The work of the mine surveying team: pits, boundaries and geodata
Mine surveyors are deeply rooted in the history of mining. Their work is particularly important with regard to deep geological repositories.
Unwanted changes: stabilisation measures for decommissioning
Stabilising the repository mine is a fundamental part of the decommissioning concept and includes minimising cavities, for example.
The Gorleben mine

The BGE has been mandated to close the Gorleben mine. This page provides information on the Gorleben project.
