from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

State collecting points for radioactive waste are interim storage facilities for (low) radioactive waste that are maintained by the German federal states .

According to the Atomic Energy Act, radioactive waste must be disposed of in an orderly manner. The respective waste producer is responsible for this, according to the polluter pays principle . Ultimately, they are disposed of in a repository . Is to such a repository is available, the waste must temporarily stored are. For radioactive waste from medicine , industry and research , the law has imposed the obligation on the federal states to set up collection points for the interim storage of the radioactive waste generated in their area. These are partly operated jointly by several federal states (see below).
