Radioactive waste in Germany - current situation and future perspectives — •Clemens Walther — Institute of Radioecology and Radiation Protection Leibniz Universität Hannover, Herrenhäuser Str. 2, D-30419 Hannover

Asse, Morsleben, Konrad, Gorleben - names that are identified with the, some call it "wicked", problem of nuclear waste disposal. However, during the past five years, new concepts were elaborated - particularly concerning legal, political and participatory issues. The presentation will give an overview of the current situation from the technical side (how much waste will we have to handle? What are specifications and requirements for safe disposal?), elucidate the planned selection process according to the site selection act (How long will it take? Who will decide?) and will identify how research must continuously support this process.
