Pursuant to the Site Selection Act of 2017, on Monday, September 28th, the BGE has published its interim report on identified sub-areas which can be expected to have a favourable overall geological situation for the safe disposal of high-level radioactive waste. The three host rock types salt rock, clay stone an crystalline rock have been taken into consideration. Comparing and analysing over a million data records, applying exclusion criteria, minimum requirements and geo-scientific weighing criteria, BGE has identified 90 sub-areas spread across all German federal states (with the exception of Saarland).
