With the rules that were put in place, we were able to control its impact on the company. One of the things that helped, for example, was the effective hygiene concept for in-presence work. However, some outcomes were not so positive: due to the safety measures imposed, work at the construction sites could not continue at the customary pace. Some of our employees are also suffering from the effects of long COVID. Yet, there are other things – like the adoption and development of mobile working – that have gained significant momentum as a result of the pandemic. The bottom line is that the experience gained during this period gives BGE the confidence that it will overcome future crises as well. In spite of the challenging times, the BGE staff have done everything possible to keep the individual projects moving forward. Perhaps not very visibly to the outside, the employees have been carrying out various tasks for the goal of digitalisation. For example, Product Control did important work on introducing a digital application management system for their ”Nuclear Waste Logistics” project. Other projects had much higher visibility. For example, further progress was made in the construction of the Konrad repository. All of the buildings at the Konrad 1 mine, including the guard building, heating centre, and workshop building, have been built. The next step will be to install their technical building equipment. In the Konrad 1 shaft, the technical connections to the pit have been changed on all three levels. It is now ready for getting the northern shaft hoisting system up and running. Its hoisting motor has been built and the guide frame has been constructed on the surface. The temporary shaft hoisting system at Konrad 2 was already put into operation at the turn of the year, on the -16 m platform. That’s real news. The foundations of the former shaft hoisting system were then demolished and the construction sites prepared for the future fan building and reloading hall. The depot was also completed. Installation of the inner lining commenced at the shaft landing – this is the filling site where the waste packages will be transferred from the storage shaft into the pit. The Konrad project is and will remain an important component in the disposal strategy for the dismantled materials coming from all of Germany’s decommissioned nuclear power plants. Most of the public perception of the project for waste retrieval and subsequent decommissioning of Asse came from the discussion about the waste treatment plant and its corresponding interim storage facility. The regional planning procedure for the overall project has commenced – and will continue to define much of the work in 2023. BGE’s Morsleben personnel can be proud of a very special achievement: in April, they reached 2,000 accident-free days. For planning the decommissioning measures, numerous procedural documents have been prepared and the necessary development work has come a long way forward. Gorleben reached a special milestone in 2022: the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) gave BGE the official order to close the Gorleben mine. Regarding the site selection project, the year 2022 ended with a bit of a flourish. Based on the methodology for working off the preliminary safety assessments in this procedure, which has been in development since 2020, BGE presented the first concrete and realistic timetable up to the proposal of siting regions for surface exploration. Things should be ready to go in 2027. But this also makes it clear that the deadline ’by 2031’ named in the Site Selection Act is not a realistic timeframe for finding a final repository for high-level radioactive waste. As such, what had been clear Morsleben repository: Shell of the new administrative building. Konstantin Bochmann and Marcus Eggestein examine the next lot of plans for its interior finishing. to many experts for a long time became publicly clear at the end of the year. So, it is no surprise that the bulk of research and development activities in the current fiscal year focused on the implementation of the site selection procedure. Without public and political support, BGE could not accomplish its socially important tasks and projects. And we are not just talking about the search for a repository, for which the law mandates public participation from the very beginning. Construction of the Konrad repository, retrieval of radioactive waste from the Asse II mine, and decommissioning of the Morsleben repository: none of these can go ahead without public approval. We also definitely owe thanks to our employees: the projects couldn’t possibly be realised without their commitment, loyalty, and expertise.
