BGZ company for interim storage
The BGZ Gesellschaft für Zwischenlagerung mbH was founded on the basis of the law to reorganize responsibility for nuclear waste disposal and is responsible for the Gorleben and Ahaus nuclear waste storage facilities .
On October 19, 2016, the Federal Cabinet passed a package of laws on the storage of nuclear waste. The nuclear power plant operators have to pay 24.1 billion euros into a public fund. In return, the state will in future bear responsibility and all risks for the interim and final storage of nuclear waste. The corporations must continue to finance the decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear power plants. The "Act on the Reorganization of Responsibility in Nuclear Waste Management" came into force in December 2016.
As an organizational consequence of the law, a new "BGZ Gesellschaft für Zwischenlagerung" was founded on March 1st, 2017 by the Gesellschaft für Nuklear-Service (GNS) with its headquarters in Essen. On August 1, 2017, the federal government took over 100% of the BGZ Gesellschaft für Zwischenlagerung. On this date, the BGZ assumed responsibility for the central interim storage facilities in Gorleben and Ahaus . The federal government took on around 70 employees at the Essen site and 80 employees from Gorleben and Ahaus from GNS.
Since January 1, 2019, the BGZ has been responsible for the 12 interim storage facilities at the German nuclear power plants and from 2020 for the twelve storage facilities with low and medium level radioactive waste from the operation and dismantling of the nuclear power plants.
On April 21, 2020, the BGZ notified the Federal Cartel Office of its intention to take over Kerntechnische Hilfsdienst GmbH (KHG) for examination.
