atw Vol. 63 (2018) | Issue 6/7 ı June/July 49 th Annual Meeting on Nuclear Technology (AMNT 2018): Opening Address 29 to 30 May 2018, Berlin Ralf Güldner Ladies and Gentlemen, on behalf of the DAtF and the German Nuclear Society (KTG), welcome to our 49 th Annual Meeting on Nuclear Technology in Berlin. As in other years, we offer a comprehensive program, giving insights into many aspects of nuclear technology and contributing to the international exchange of knowledge and experience in industry, research, politics and administration. 369 AMNT 2018 Ladies and Gentlemen, In keeping with long-standing tradition, even in the year preceding its 50 th anniversary, which I’d like to invite you to attend in Berlin on 7 and 8 May 2019, the AMNT remains the only conference in Germany, and one of the few in Europe, that combines all the issues surrounding nuclear technology under one roof and is dedicated to every sector of our industry. Waste management – old challenges, new structures It is not only Germany as a venue but also the relevance and complexity of the dismantling and waste management issues that again make them one of the focal points of our conference. The reorganization of nuclear waste management in Germany, which has been negotiated and put into legal form over the last few years, is as such broadly complete following approval by the European Union and the transfer of around EUR 24.1 billion to the state waste management fund by the operators on 3 June 2017. However, the transfer of responsibility for the site-based interim storage facilities to the Federal Company for Interim Storage (BGZ Gesellschaft für Zwischenlagerung mbH) is still pending. But let me give you an overview of the status quo based on the new structure. The search for a final repository is slowly gaining momentum The Federal Office for the Safety of Nuclear Waste Management (Bundesamt für kerntechnische Entsorgungssicherheit – BfE) is, in its own words, “a growing authority with growing responsibilities”. In the public perception, according to the Site Selection Act (StandAG), the BfE is currently complying with the second part of the task assigned to it by the legislator: “The Federal Office for the Safety of Nuclear Waste Management is the body responsible for organising public participation in the site selection process. It informs the public comprehensively and system atically about the site selection process.” The breadth of issues dealt with by the BfE’s publications is evidence of this. At this point, I would also like to mention the work of the national advisory committee which recently presented its first report on the selection process for a final repository site. Broad public participation in the work of the advisory committee is essential for performing the tasks assigned to it and is therefore desirable. Other key tasks of the BfE according to the Site Selection Act (StandAG) are: specification of the exploration programmes, examination of the project developer’s proposals and the preparation of well-founded recom mendations based on them as well as monitoring of the site selection process. However, this initially requires pre liminary work that is currently in process, including the selection of site regions and the sites to be explored. The Federal Company for Radioactive Waste Disposal (Bundesgesellschaft für Endlagerung – BGE) is responsible for this and Dr. Jörg Tietze, Acting Head of Site Selection within the BGE, will tell us about its work today. As the project developer, the BGE has to “ carry out the site selection process” according to the will of the legislator. The BGE which is also responsible, of course, for the Konrad final repository has now announced a concrete date for completion of the final repository in the first six months of 2027. Measured against the original objective, that is to say 2013, the criticism regarding the extent of the delay, particularly on the part of the public authorities, for example in Baden-Württemberg or Schleswig-Holstein, is entirely comprehensible. However, we now see this fixing of a date as a kind of voluntary commitment by which it must be measured. On 1 August of last year, the Company for Interim Storage (BGZ Gesellschaft für Zwischenlagerung) became the property of the federal government and took over the responsibility for the central interim storage facilities in Ahaus and Gorleben. From 1 January 2019, the company will take over the decentralised interim storage facilities with heat-generating waste and, from 1 January 2020, the interim storage facilities for waste with negligible heat generation. The BGZ will also need the skills it has acquired in the process for the construction of a central receiving store for Konrad. This important task and the responsibility for all interim storage facilities will broaden the BGZ’s range of responsibilities and strengthen public perception of the company. Good and trusting collaboration between state actors and private operators is indispensable for public acceptance A smooth working relationship between state agencies and private operators as part of this reorganization is crucial not only for safety and efficiency but also for public acceptance of the newly created structures and regulations. The operators are fully committed to the obligations agreed and we also expect this from our contractual partners. Dismantling: operators meeting their obligations without any ifs or buts The operators are committed, without any ifs or buts, to their obligation to drive forward safe and efficient AMNT 2018 49 th Annual Meeting on Nuclear Technology (AMNT 2018): Opening Address ı Ralf Güldner
