5 1. Introduction Residual radioactive material generated during the handling of radioactive material as well as disassembled or dismantled radioactive components shall be utilised without detrimental effects or disposed of as radioactive waste in a controlled manner. In the Federal Republic of Germany, radioactive waste is generated in connection with the operation of nuclear power plants and experimental, demonstration and research reactors, in connection with the decommissioning of nuclear power plants and experimental and demonstration reactors, of research and training reactors, and of other nuclear facilities, in connection with uranium enrichment and the fabrication of fuel assemblies (nuclear industry), in connection with basic and applied research, in connection with the use of radioisotopes in other research institutions, universities, trade and industry companies, hospitals and medical practices, in connection with other waste originators, such as e.g. the military sector, in future in connection with the conditioning of spent fuel intended for direct disposal. The Inventory of Radioactive Waste provides an overview of the inventory of radioactive waste and spent fuel assemblies in Germany which have been generated and are to be disposed of or have already been disposed of as at 31 December 2014 and a prediction of the expected volume of radioactive waste that will have arisen by the year It represents one of the bases for the planning of waste management and for the preparation of the National Programme. By indicating which radioactive waste is present in which location, the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz, Bau und Reaktorsicherheit BMUB) complies with the required reporting to the EU Commission according to Directive 2011/70/Euratom on behalf of the Federal Republic of Germany. The inventory of radioactive waste is subject to constant change, which is why the Inventory of Radioactive Waste can only reflect the status at a specific point in time and will therefore be updated every three years. 5

6 2. Summarising evaluation 2.1 Scope of the data comprised The Inventory of Radioactive Waste comprises spent fuel and radioactive waste from reprocessing abroad in Europe that had already been returned by the reference date of 31 December 2014 as well as all types of radioactive waste to be disposed of in the Federal Republic of Germany. Radioactive waste from industrial, medical and research applications that has to be delivered to a Land collecting facility rather than directly to a federal disposal facility will only be taken into account once it has been delivered to a Land collecting facility. 2.2 Classification and categorisation of the radioactive waste For the purpose of representation in the Inventory of Radioactive Waste, a general distinction is made between: spent fuel and radioactive waste from reprocessing, and other radioactive waste. Due to their high level of decay heat, the former count as heat-generating waste and can be allocated for the largest part to the category of high-level waste according to the IAEA classification. With a few exceptions, the other radioactive waste belongs to the waste with negligible heat generation and is classified as low-level and intermediate-level waste according to the IAEA. The other radioactive waste (radioactive waste with negligible heat generation) is categorised 1) according to its processing condition for representation in the Inventory of Radioactive Waste: Raw waste is radioactive waste in its form of origin. Pretreated waste has been pretreated for better handling or storage. For its disposal, however, it has to be further conditioned. Conditioned waste products are waste in inner containers (e.g. drums) that have been conditioned to such an extent that any further treatment will no longer change its product properties. However, this waste will still have to be packaged in a disposal cask prior to its disposal. Disposal Containers are waste products in a type of container intended for disposal. 6

7 1) Here, the category system as defined in Appendix X of the German Radiation Protection Ordinance (StrlSchV) using primary waste (R), intermediate product (Z) and conditioned waste (K) for the purpose of inventorying the radioactive waste is replaced by the category system below. The comparison of the category systems is shown in Table 2.1. For the purpose of inventorying the radioactive waste, the waste is divided according to its state of processing into raw waste (RA), i.e. waste in its original form, and pretreated waste (VA), which e.g. has undergone preconditioning for better handling. For storage, waste will generally be conditioned. The conditioning process normally generates waste products that are usually stored in i.e. drums (as inner containers for future disposal containers) (P1) or already in disposal containers that are intended for the Konrad repository (G1). The product properties of this waste are generally not to be altered until its disposal. In the course of the product control by the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) it has to be ascertained that the waste product, if it meets the waste acceptance requirements, is suitable for emplacement in the Konrad repository. If this is the case at least for the radiological aspects, a product-controlled waste product (P2) is generated from the waste product of the P1 category. The waste products of the P2 category will then be inserted into Konrad containers for disposal and, if necessary, grouted in concrete (G1). If suitability of the disposal container (G1) for disposal is confirmed by the BfS, it will be categorised as a product-controlled disposal container (G2) which can be enrolled and requested for emplacement in the Konrad repository. A disposal container does not necessarily run through all steps from RA to G2; however, only G2 packages may be disposed of in the Konrad repository. Table 2.1: Correlation between the former and the more recent category system Primary waste Intermediate product Conditioned waste Raw waste and pretreated waste Conditioned waste products Disposal containers RA VA P1 P2 G1 G2 X X X X X X X X X In the Inventory of Radioactive Waste, RA and VA are summarised in one category, P1 and P2 are summarised as waste products, and G1 and G2 as disposal containers for reasons of clarity. 7

8 2.3 Inventory of spent fuel and waste from reprocessing At the reference date of 31 December 2014, about 8,380 Mg HM 2 had been generated from the operation of nuclear power plants 3 in the Federal Republic of Germany in the form of spent fuel assemblies (FA), which will have to be disposed of in Germany. Table 2.2: Inventory of spent fuel from German nuclear power plants, stored in Germany, as at 31 December 2014 Storage location Containers Fuel assemblies Nuclear power plant storage pools* 14,013 FA 4,258 Mg HM Dry cask storage in on-site storage facilities 352 9,638 FA 3,444 Mg HM Dry cask storage in the Ahaus and Gorleben storage 76 5,343 FA 677 Mg HM facilities and the Zwischenlager Nord storage facility 28,994 FA 8,379 Mg HM * including the wet storage facility at the site of the Obrigheim nuclear power plant, which is being decommissioned, and the reactor core of the permanently closed down Brunsbüttel nuclear power plant Radioactive waste that has been returned from reprocessing abroad in Europe and high-level vitrified waste that has been generated in Germany is stored in the Gorleben and Zwischenlager Nord storage facilities in the form of 3,164 canisters in 113 casks. The amount of spent fuel from German experimental and demonstration reactors yet to be disposed of are in dry storage in 461 casks in the Ahaus storage facility, at the research centre Forschungszentrum Jülich, and in the Zwischenlager Nord storage facility. The amount of spent fuel from research reactors is less by several orders of magnitude than the amount from nuclear power plants and is stored by the research reactors in Berlin, Garching and Mainz as well as in 18 casks in the Ahaus storage facility. 2.4 Inventory of other radioactive waste The inventory of other radioactive waste is given in Table 2.3. The distribution of the around 117,000 m³ of conditioned radioactive waste present at the reference date of 31 December 2014 between the groups of waste originators can be taken from Fig Megagram of heavy metal (Mg HM) is the unit of the mass of heavy metal and hence a measure for the fuel content (uranium, plutonium and thorium) of a fuel assembly. 3 Nuclear power plant in this context describes an installation for the fission of nuclear fuel for the commercial generation of electricity. 8

The conditioned waste is given as waste volume since in this case, the expected volume to be disposed of will usually only grow by the packaging of the waste products in disposal containers, but not by any changes of the waste product itself. Before a disposal container can be accepted for emplacement in the Konrad repository, the product control process has to be concluded. In this process, the disposal container's compliance with the requirements for disposal is verified. So far, approx. 3,000 m³ of radioactive waste have been ascertained to comply with the requirements for disposal in the Konrad repository and hence have been cleared for enrollment for emplacement in the Konrad repository by the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS). 4 Differences to other publications are due to the processing of data with the focus on the storage facility site instead of on the waste owners. 5 Including other radioactive waste stored abroad. 9

10 3. Waste inventories at the different sites For representation in the Inventory of Radioactive Waste, the waste was grouped by the storage sites on 31 December 2014 as notified by the waste originators. The licence holder of a facility is not necessarily identical with the originator (owner) of the waste. Since according to 78 of the Radiation Protection Ordinance (StrlSchV) storage may be executed jointly by several waste originators or by third parties, the owner of the waste is not necessarily the proprietor. Conditioning facilities that are not clearly physically separated from the storage facilities are included in the lists of the respective sites, with the amount of waste in the process of being conditioned not explicitly shown. In the case of external conditioning facilities, the waste in the process of being conditioned there is listed. Once conditioning has been completed, the waste is moved to waste storage facilities. Fig. 3.1 gives an overview of the sites of the reactors, transport cask storage facilities, waste storage facilities, Land collecting facilities and conditioning facilities in the Federal Republic of Germany. 10

12 Regarding fuel assemblies, their dimensions and fuel content differ from reactor type to reactor type. In general, the information on the number of fuel assemblies provided in the Inventory of Radioactive Waste represents the corroborated and reliable figures. Since the associated mass of heavy metal i.e. a measure for the fuel content (uranium, plutonium and thorium) is also of interest in connection with many other issues, this is also indicated. These data were obtained by calculations. For this purpose, the number of fuel assemblies was multiplied by an average mass of heavy metal per fuel assembly. It has to be noted in this context that on the one hand, over the years the mass of heavy metal per fuel assembly had been subjected to changes during production and on the other hand that it decreases as a result of burn-up. The calculated masses of heavy metal can therefore only serve as guide values and are not exactly identical with the actual masses in the spent fuel assemblies. It has to be noted here that only little amounts of uranium and plutonium are present in the waste from reprocessing as these were separated and reused. The raw waste and the pretreated waste is differentiated by its chemical form, based on Appendix X Part A No. 2 of the Radiation Protection Ordinance (StrlSchV). The conditioned waste products are differentiated by the type and volume of the package 6). 6 The package volumes indicated are the gross volumes of the packages. The respective typical volumes can be taken from the table below.
