“Legislation for the final repository search”
German Bundestag
New legislation regarding the search for a final repository for highly radioactive waste could be drafted, decided and implemented “clearly” before next year’s summer break, said a representative of the federal environment ministry, according to a press release by the parliament (Bundestag). The ministry wants to turn proposals that the expert commission on administering the search for a final repository had published in July into first drafts by the end of 2016.
