Description: safe ND 2025: The third BASE research symposium The Federal Office for the Safety of Nuclear Waste Management ( BASE ) invites you to the third meeting of the Interdisciplinary Research Symposium on the Safety of Nuclear Disposal Practices (safe ND 2025). Time as a safety factor: opportunities and challenges of timely nuclear waste disposal 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’s 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. Below, you will find the most important information about safe ND 2025: Date: safe ND 2025 will take place in Berlin from 17 to 19 September 2025.
