Flyer safeND 2025 (PDF, 827KB, File meet accessibility standards) The Federal Office for the Safety of Nuclear Waste Management ( BASE ) invites you to the third Interdisciplinary Research Symposium on the Safety of Nuclear Disposal Practices (safe ND 2025). The biennial safe ND addresses all issues relating to the safety of nuclear waste disposal. safe ND 2025 will take place in Berlin from 17 to 19 September and focus on the main topic: "Time as a safety factor: opportunities and challenges of timely nuclear waste disposal" . Developing and implementing disposal concepts for nuclear waste that ensure long-term safety is a complex sociotechnical challenge requiring, in particular, extensive geological exploration, engineering research, numerical simulation and long-term awareness preservation. The technical vulnerabilities of such a waste disposal concept are not the only dangers to society, however. It is essential that a timely implementation also is accounted for as a central safety factor. The imperative nature of timing as a safety factor derives not only from the fact that the radioactivity of nuclear waste is currently at its highest level and will decay over time, but also from the fact that high-level radioactive waste is currently stored above ground in most parts of the world. Such above-ground storage makes this waste vulnerable to various geopolitical threats, including military conflicts, radical alterations to existing political institutions and to consequences of climate change. So how can we properly account for the factor of time when evaluating the safety of nuclear disposal programmes? The symposium will include lecture and poster sessions as well as workshops and panel discussions. Date safe ND 2025 will take place in Berlin from 17 to 19 September 2025. Venue © Phil Dera safe ND 2025 will take place at Radialsystem in Berlin, Germany (Holzmarktstraße 33, 10243 Berlin). This former pumping station is now a versatile cultural and event centre on the banks of the river Spree in Berlin. Directions to location. Useful information for traveling to Berlin can be found at visitberlin. About the symposium safe ND stands for "Interdisciplinary Research Symposium on the Safety of Nuclear Disposal Practices". Scientists are given the opportunity to present their current research results and projects in intra- and interdisciplinary discussions. The following topics, among others, will be addressed: Decommissioning of nuclear facilities Storage, conditioning and transport of radioactive waste Site selection and deep geological disposal of radioactive waste Alternative disposal methods Public participation and communication Nuclear safety culture and knowledge preservation Social sciences and humanities perspectives on nuclear energy and radioactive waste (including historical, economic and legal analyses) Safeguards and non-proliferation in nuclear waste disposal Nuclear waste management related to alternative reactor designs and fusion energy Registration and ticket prices The fee for participation in safe ND 2025 is 450 euros. Students can take part in safe ND for a reduced price of 225 euros. Registration is possible until 26/08/2025. Please note that the number of tickets is limited to 360. Registration takes place via the website of our service provider “Copernicus Meetings”. To register, it is necessary to create a Copernicus account. In order to take advantage of the student discount, the Copernicus account must be assigned the student status at the time of registration.

In addition to the regular program, we offer the following side events: Accompanying events safeND 2025 Excursion (September 16, 2025) Following the successful excursion to the former uranium mining area of Ronneburg two years ago as part of safe ND 2023, BASE is organizing an excursion to the former uranium mines in the Saxon Ore Mountains this year in cooperation with Wismut GmbH and the Uranbergbau Bad Schlema Museum. After a brief introduction to the history of Wismut, we will visit the rehabilitated mining dumps and a dump currently undergoing rehabilitation. Water management and treatment of the dump water will be another focus of the excursion. We would be delighted if the excursion participants would also take part in the uranium mining workshop as part of safe ND 2025 (probably on September 19), as the excursion and workshop are thematically linked. A total of 15 places are available for the excursion. The cost of participating in the excursion is 100 euros. Icebreaker (September 16, 2025) We cordially invite all guests to participate in an icebreaker at the event venue on the evening before safe ND . Here you can complete the registration process, get to know the venue, and exchange ideas with us and other guests. Participation is free of charge for all guests of safe ND . Young safe ND (September 17, 2025) Are you a student or young researcher who would like to present your project and discuss the latest research trends with interdisciplinary colleagues? Then Young safe ND is the right place for you! We invite you to participate in our 90-minute networking session on September 17, 2025 (tentatively starting at 7 p.m.). You can present your own research and listen to others, including researchers from BASE. If you would like to participate in the Young safe ND event, please let us know when you register. We will then send you further details. There are no additional costs for participation. Conference Dinner (September 18, 2025) Following the second day of the conference, we will host a conference dinner at Radialsystem. Here, guests will have the opportunity to end the day on the banks of the Spree, exchange ideas, and enjoy a rich selection of food. Participation in the conference dinner is open to all safe ND guests at no additional cost.
