In the Federal Republic of Germany, the disposal of radioactive waste is being planned for deep geologic formations only. A repository will be constructed in the Gorleben salt dome for all kinds of radioactive waste, in particular, heat-generating waste from reprocessing and spent fuel. Pusuant to German safety criteria, a detailed site characterization program including above-ground and underground investigations must be performed to provide all necessary data for the site-specific safety assessment.
