Description

This report discusses radioactive waste disposal of german research reactors as affected in the past, briefly highlights the situation in the USA since the end of 1988, describes temporary options for the current waste disposal needs and addresses in full the german waste concept which is being prepared. This concept envisages long-term (c. 40 years) dry intermediate storage of fuel elements in specific containers in a central german intermediate storage facility followed by direct final storage without reprocessing of the irradiated fuels.

Abstract (German)

Der Bericht befasst sich mit der Entsorgung der deutschen Forschungsreaktoren in der Vergangenheit, geht kurz auf die Situation in den USA seit Ende 1988 ein, beschreibt Uebergangsmoeglichkeiten fuer die derzeitigen Entsorgungsbeduerfnisse, um dann in der Hauptsache auf das in Vorbereitung befindliche deutsche Entsorgungskonzept einzugehen. Dieses Konzept sieht die langfristige (ca. 40 Jahre) trockene Zwischenlagerung der Brennelemente in besonderen Behaeltern in einem zentralen deutschen Zwischenlager mit sich anschliessender direkter Endlagerung ohne Wiederaufarbeitung der bestrahlten Brennstoffe vor.
