“Against time”
Süddeutsche Zeitung
The biggest dilemma of the new rules to be set for finding a final repository for nuclear waste in Germany is between “time and thoroughness”, writes Michael Bauchmüller in an op-ed for the Süddeutsche Zeitung. On the one hand there has to be a fair process including extensive citizen participation, but on the other hand scientific and technical development could prove all current efforts wrong in the future. There are already dark scenarios being predicted, for example that the search for a nuclear repository will take 131 years, Bauchmüller says.
