June 23 - 25 the second Symposium for Final Repository took place in Duesseldorf, having been organised by Aachen Institute for Nuclear Training (AiNT). Around 90 participants, national and international, were given the opportunity to discuss contents and consequences of the site location for final repository of thermal active resp. highly radioactive waste. The Symposium introduces the dialogue of implementing the site selection law (StandAG). Through 18 lectures within 4 topics as well as 2 panel discussions an appealing and many-faceted elaboration of the topic ''Repository Exploration'' was given. Concepts of final repository from abroad and as well the juridical controversial interrogations of StandAG were regarded. Consensus of the session: for site selection there needs to be a negotiation process of safety, duration and participation. Through Prof. Dr. Armin Grunwald and Prof. Dr. Bruno Thomauske two members of the commission appointed by the German Bundestag and the Federal Assembly were participating as speakers.
