Radioactive waste (above all highly radioactive wastes from nuclear
installations) caused by research, medicine and technology must be
disposed of safely. However both the strategies disputed for the
disposal of radioactive waste as well as concrete proposals for
choosing a location for final waste disposal are highly debatable.
An appropriate disposal must conform to both complex, technical
requirements and fulfill the radio-biological conditions to
appropriately protect man and nature. Ethical, legal and social
conditions must also be considered. An interdisciplinary team from
various, relevant fields compiled the current status-quo and
developed criteria and strategies, which on the one hand meet the
requirements of optimal warning and prevention of risk for present
and future generations, and additionally on the other hand meet the
needs of what current society agrees what is expected to be
allowed.
This study can be understood as an advanced and continuing
contribution to the corresponding scientific specialized debates,
due to its interdisciplinary treatment. At the same time it serves
as a fundamentally informing contribution to public and political
debates, offering an easily comprehensible executive summary and
precise content recommendations.
