Description

In the last 3 years several types of dual purpose casks for transport and storage of spent fuel elements and vitrified high-active waste from reprocessing were transported to the Gorleben site for interim storage in Germany. The paper gives an overview of the radiation fields around the casks by measurement with gamma and neutron dose rate meters. (author)
