Goals and mission
The nuclear phase-out in Germany has been decided, but the radioactive waste remains and with it its dangers. In the interests of intergenerational equity, the nuclear waste report aims to document the inventory and handling of radioactive waste, enable critical scientific discussion across generations and secure knowledge and experience in the long term. In addition, specific information needs such. B. be served by locations, media or other social actors.
In the preamble it says on the motives:
“It is foreseeable that when nuclear energy is being processed, the contaminated sites will first be nationalized in the next few decades and then be redefined or blamed on individual locations and regions. In responsibility for future generations and all affected regions, we are creating an independent, plural, public and problem-oriented community facility with the platform. "
