Risk assessment for the longer term maintenance of Asse

Risk assessment for the longer term maintenance of Asse

project executing organisation: Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU)

 

The Institute of Waste Disposal and Geomechanics of Technical University of Clausthal was assigned by the Institute for Applied Ecology Darmstadt to perform rock mechanical investigations within the project "Risk assessment for the longer term maintenance of Asse" in response to a request from the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU). The objective of the interdisciplinary project is the investigation of possible consequences of the longer term (dry) maintenance of Asse II. In case of a flooding mining safety and radiation protection issues have to be taken into account. Especially the scenario of a flooding that might occur faster than the recovery of the waste from the ASSE II mine can be performed is investigated.
