Restarting the L/ILW-repository at Morsleben (FRG): The utilities` experience
- Gesellschaft fuer Nuklear-Service, Essen (Germany)
After the reopening of the former East-German final repository at the Morsleben salt-mine (ERAM) German waste-producers have undertaken many efforts to start delivery to ERAM as soon as possible. The technical part of the acceptance criteria for radioactive waste at ERAM differs significantly from those of the KONRAD-mine, which have been the reference requirements for several years. This leads to considerations of changing the type of packages or even the conditioning technique of the primary waste. However other requirements are quite similar for both repositories such as product qualification. Since the present operating license for ERAM expires at June 30th 2000, there is rather little time for delivering the 35,000 m{sup 3} contracted by German utilities. Therefore those procedures, which can be maintained and those, which have to be adjusted, have been carefully evaluated and are described in this paper.
