Site selection days. 3rd expert workshop of the Federal Disposal Society. Conference proceedings

A site for a deep geological repository for high-level radioactive waste is to be found in Germany by 2031. The path to a decision on a site by the Bundestag is defined by the Site Selection Act: participatory, science-based, transparent, self-questioning and in a learning process. To this end, the Act defines a large number of scientifically based criteria and requirements. Thus, right at the beginning of the process, it is determined how we will narrow down the search more and more and ultimately arrive at a safe final repository site for Germany. The basis for the search process is therefore already established at the beginning of the procedure. For the implementation in detail, however, many questions remain unanswered.
