The ESK has the committees on Waste Conditioning, Transport and Interim Storage (AZ), on Final Disposal(EL) and on Decommissioning (ST). This is an overview of the work and the members of the committees.
Committee on Waste Conditioning, Transport and Interim Storage (AZ)
The “Committee on Waste Conditioning, Transport and Interim Storage” (AZ) carries out consultations on general safety issues in connection with the conditioning of radioactive waste as well as the transport and storage of radioactive substances. As far as the topics are related to the dismantling of nuclear facilities, these are dealt with in close co-operation with the “Committee on Decommissioning” (ST).
Current topics are, for example, the transport and interim storage of spent fuel and other radioactive substances. These comprise the packaging and the inventories (spent fuel assemblies, high-level and high-pressure compacted medium-level waste, etc.) well as the experience made with conditioning, transport and interim storage of these radioactive substances so far. Furthermore, the Committee deals with the preparatory work for the emplacement of radioactive waste in the Konrad repository.
Other topics are the safety requirements on facilities for radioactive waste management in national and international rules and regulations and the consideration of experiences and new findings from the operation of such facilities.
- Current topics of consultations
-
- Implementation of the ESK Guidelines for the storage of radioactive waste with negligible heat generation
- State of preparations in providing radioactive waste packages for the Konrad repository
- Handling of old waste, post-qualification and documentation
- Quality assurance in the manufacture of transport and storage casks for spent fuel and heat-generating radioactive waste
- Removal of transport and storage casks after a long storage period and regulations under traffic law
- Safety requirements for the conditioning of radioactive waste

Committee on Final Disposal (EL)
The “Committee on Final Disposal” (EL) carries out consultations on scientific and technical issues in connection with the disposal of low- and medium-level as well as high-level radioactive waste.
The Committee regularly gathers information about the progress made with regard to repository projects in Germany (construction of the Konrad mine repository, closure of the Morsleben Repository for Radioactive Waste (ERAM), Asse II mine, repository for high- level radioactive waste, Site Selection Act) and discusses new issues that arise. The consultation programme also includes issues related to main areas of research and promotion concepts in Germany.
If required, topics related to issues of radiation protection are dealt with in close consultation with the Commission on Radiological Protection (SSK) and their committees.
- Current Topics of Consultations
-
- Systematic survey and evaluation of incidents in connection with disposal
- Asse II mine, Morsleben repository for radioactive waste (ERAM) and Konrad repository
- Continuous assessment of the site selection procedure (currently focusing on the time required for its implementation)

Committee on Decommissioning (ST)
The “Committee on Decommissioning” (ST) carries out consultations on general safety issues in connection with current projects in the field of decommissioning, dismantling and disposal. The latter is performed in close co-operation with the “Committee on Waste Conditioning, Transport and Interim Storage” (AZ).
Safety issues related to current licensing procedures are one focus of the consultations.
Other topics are the safety requirements on the decommissioning of nuclear installations in national and international rules and regulation and the consideration of experiences and new findings in the field of decommissioning.
- Current topics of consultations
-
- Information on decommissioning concepts for nuclear power plants and research reactors (including site visits)
- Current issues relating to the decommissioning of the nuclear power plants
- Waste streams and waste management paths
- Aspects in connection with the decommissioning of the AVR Jülich plant
- Aspects in connection with the decommissioning of the WAK and VEK facilities
