The question of what is to be done with the radioactive waste has only been partly resolved.

This is especially true when a broad range of objectives is persued under different site conditions, as is the case in Germany. If the focus is on waste with negligible heat generation, the Konrad project is an example of the conversion of a mine into a repository, which requires extensive reconstruction, expansion, conversion, and complex securing of shafts and drifts. The Morsleben repository, on the other hand, is currently being kept open and work on decommissioning the repository is progressing vigorously. A focal point is the design of the sealing structures.

Almost all countries contemplate how to safely store and dispose of radioactive waste in the long term. Repositories for low- and intermediate-level waste of various designs have been in operation throughout the world for decades. In 2015, Finland was the first country, however, that obtained a license to construct a repository for spent fuel elements. In Germany, the disposal of heat-generating radioactive waste and spent fuel elements in a mine was favored from the very beginning. With regard to safety and licensing aspects, a mine solution was considered to be the most feasible of the disposal options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Authors: <\/strong>Dr.-Ing.

However, current information indicates that the long-term safety of this waste material will be compromised due to a number of factors, including the extended lifetime of the storage chambers, the inadequate distance between them and the overburden and the undersized structural design of the load-bearing components.
