BGE is a federally owned company tasked with the management and disposal of radioactive waste. Founded in July 2016 with the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety as its sole shareholder, BGE assumed responsibility for the Asse II mine, Konrad and Morsleben repositories in April 2017. In addition, BGE is charged with product control as well as implementing Germany‘s site selection procedure for a repository site for mainly heat-generating radioactive waste and spent fuel in accordance with the Site Selection Act (StandAG) that became effective May 2017. Protecting the environment and human kind is our priority.
