During the last decades, the management of SNF and HLW in Germany focused on deep geological disposal inside salt formations. The geological barrier of the rock salt is to safely isolate the waste over a period of one million years. In re-cent years, retrievability has moved into the focus of an ongoing public discus-sion about waste management strategies. The discussion is driven by socio-ethical, economical, safety and technical aspects. As DBE Technology GmbH has expertise in repository safety and technology, the development of technical concepts for retrieving SNF and HLW canisters was launched in an R and D project. This paper summarizes the latest results concerning the implementation of retrievability into existing emplacement concepts for rock salt in Germany and gives an overview of how retrieval could be realized safely and in a technically reliable manner.
