The site for a German nuclear waste repository is apparently not fixed until the middle of this century – at the earliest. This emerges from an internal document of the Federal Society for Disposal (BGE), which the Süddeutsche Zeitung present. In it, the state-owned company tasked with searching for potential locations examines two “exemplary scenarios” for the selection. In the faster scenario, it could be clear by 2046 where the nuclear waste should be stored. In the other, more complex, the preparatory work will take until 2068. Mind you, until the decision is made. The construction of the repository will only then begin.
