Ulrich Kleemann

Ulrich Kleemann (born June 4, 1955 in Hagen ) is a German politician ( Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen ) and geologist. He is President of the Structure and Approval Directorate North in Koblenz and was a member of the High Radioactive Waste Storage Commission of the German Bundestag.

Life

Kleemann grew up in Wetter and completed his school education at the municipal high school with the Abitur in June 1974. After completing a commercial apprenticeship, Kleemann studied geology at the Ruhr University in Bochum, where he received his doctorate in 1991. After moving to the consulting company Deutsche Projekt Union (DPU) Essen, he worked as a senior geologist a. a. carried out a comprehensive location search for a hazardous waste dump in Rhineland-Palatinate. As a full-time first district member, Kleemann was responsible for the environment, waste, health and consumer protection in the Neuwied district for a ten-year term . From 2004 to April 2010 he headed the “Safety of Nuclear Waste Disposal” (SE) department at the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS). From May 2010 to September 2012 Kleemann advised the Bundestag faction Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen in the Gorleben parliamentary committee of inquiry and was a member of the Commission for the Storage of Highly Radioactive Waste Materials from April 2014 to July 2016. Since October 2012, Kleemann has been President of the Structure and Approval Directorate North in Koblenz.

politics

Kleemann has been a member of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen since April 1984. He was active in the Hagen district association until 1993, where he was spokesman for the district association for several years. Kleemann was elected first district member of the Neuwied district by a traffic light coalition in June 1993. There he implemented a material flow-specific waste concept with mechanical-biological residual waste treatment (MBA Linkenbach) against resistance from the CDU and FWG and secured this through long-term contracts with neighboring groups. This concept is now supported and continued by all parliamentary groups in the district council. In the planning of the DB AG for the new ICE line Cologne-Rhine / Main, Kleemann negotiated compensation payments of several million for the district after 2 landfills were affected by the planning. During the tunneling under the Fernthal landfill, a globally unique concept was developed at his instigation, which enabled the groundwater contamination to be remedied by driving the tunnel. After a ten-year term in office, Kleemann was not re-elected by a district majority of the CDU, FWG and FDP.

Structure and Approval Directorate North

On October 1, 2012, Prime Minister Kurt Beck appointed him President of the North Structure and Approval Directorate in Koblenz. As the higher state authority of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, SGD Nord bundles tasks in the areas of water and waste management, soil and nature protection, spatial planning and state planning as well as construction in the area of ​​the former administrative districts of Koblenz and Trier . Kleemann advocates service-oriented administration and fast, legally secure approval procedures. The regional planning procedure for the regional network system Westeifel of the Kommunale Netze Eifel AÖR (KNE), an important project for the implementation of the energy transition, was completed in record time. He also initiated an ideas competition and was a member of the jury for the redesign of the Loreley Plateau, which is currently in the construction phase.

geology

From 1985 and 1992 Kleemann worked as a research assistant in the continental deep drilling program of the Federal Republic of Germany in the Upper Palatinate. In particular, he examined the crystalline marginal rocks of the Erbendorf-Vohenstrauß zone using petrological and structural geological methods. On the basis of pressure-temperature-time-deformation paths, different units could be distinguished that were important for the regional geological understanding of the drilling profile. Important publications also dealt with the granulite mountains in Saxony and a revision of the garnet-biotite thermometer.

Disposal of radioactive waste

During his activity as head of the nuclear waste disposal department at the Federal Office for Radiation Protection from 2004 to 2010, Kleemann consistently advocated a site selection process to find a repository for high-level radioactive waste. He participated in the development of a concept for the selection of a location for the then Federal Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel, which, however, did not find a majority in the grand coalition in 2006. The synthesis report published by the Federal Office for Radiation Protection in 2005 on the conceptual and safety-related individual questions of final disposal was drawn up under his responsibility according to strictly scientific criteria in a politically sensitive area of ​​tension. Kleemann managed a. a. the Swiss Deep Repositories Expert Group (ESchT) and the Asse Options Comparison Working Group, which played a key role in uncovering the grievances at the former Asse research mine in 2008. After Asse changed operator to BfS on January 1, 2009, Kleemann moved to Asse GmbH for one year as Technical Director. During his time, the adaptation of the Asse to the Radiation Protection Ordinance, measures to stabilize the mine, the development of an emergency concept and the comparison of options for decommissioning the repository mine were initiated and advanced. Kleemann left the Federal Office for Radiation Protection in April 2010 at his own request after the then black and yellow federal government decided to extend the service life of nuclear power plants and to continue exploring the Gorleben mine. Between May 2010 and September 2012 Kleemann advised the Bundestag faction Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen in the Gorleben investigative committee and testified there as a witness. In 2011, as a freelance geologist on behalf of the Gorleben Legal Aid, he compiled a highly regarded expertise on the Gorleben site. After an extensive study of the literature, he came to the conclusion that the Gorleben salt dome had to be eliminated at an early stage in an open-ended selection process. From 2014 to 2016, Kleemann was one of 8 scientists in the commission for the storage of highly radioactive waste by the German Bundestag, which presented its final report in July 2016.
