Warning about the risk of a nuclear disaster in Germany
The environment minister of the German state of Lower Saxony has warned about the risk of water infiltration into nuclear waste storage facilities in the region and the disruption of radioactive waste recovery that could lead to a disaster. |
The salty water that has been seeping into the dilapidated Asse nuclear waste storage facility in Lower Saxony for a long time has worried politicians and experts. Brine that seeps into nuclear waste storage facilities has been accumulating in near-constant amounts for a long time. Now changes have been made in this area, which indicate that water has penetrated into these facilities and created risks. “Christian Mayer”, the Minister of Environment of the state of Lower Saxony, said in this regard: I am worried. He emphasized that the nuclear disaster in Asse is entering a new chapter. According to this German official, we must take measures as soon as possible to prevent the indiscriminate release of salt solution in this mine and to not jeopardize the recovery of radioactive waste from Asse. The former had investigated near Remlingen in the Wolfenbüttel region. Iris Graffander, the new CEO of BGE, described the situation as “difficult” in April. He emphasized: “It is not possible to fully plan how this mountain and mine will develop. We are concerned about this major change in access to water.
This mine contains about 126,000 barrels of radioactive waste. The low and medium level is in the 13th chamber, so this mine has to be drained. For a long time, about twelve cubic meters of water seeped in at the collection site The main has been receding for months,” Graffander said. “That means the water is staying somewhere else. This worries us.”
Experts in Lower Saxony are currently trying to locate and repair possible areas of damage. In addition, the operating company has also requested a complete reconstruction of the main reception area at the 658-meter level. Officials are scheduled to present their opinion and answer questions from representatives at a public meeting in the Lower Saxony state parliament’s environment, energy and climate protection committee at the end of May. -container readmore-container”>German government warning about attacks on Euro 24
