GNS develops cask concept for final disposal of highly radioactive waste in crystalline host rock

01.07.2022

The German Bundesgesellschaft für Endlagerung mbH (BGE) is looking for the best possible site for a repository for Germany's high-level radioactive waste. The repository must shield the waste from man and nature for a million years. For the safe containment and handling of high-level radioactive waste, apart from the deep geological formation also the casks play a decisive role. GNS, together with BGE TECHNOLGY GmbH, has been commissioned by BGE to develop a cask concept for final disposal in crystalline rock under the project name "ELBRock".

Comprehensive information about the project and the repository search of BGE
