The report describes the German concept for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel elements. The Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Wiederaufarbeitung von Kernbrennstoffen (DWK) was founded by German utilities to realize the project, which was originally initiated by the Federal Government as an integrated Center for the Disposal of Spent Fuel. In this center all installations, fuel element storage, reprocessing, re-use of uranium and plutonium, and final storage of wastes, are concentrated at one site.
