Examination of Reliability of Responsible Persons and Federal Repository Staff
|
|
On account of the hazardousness for man and environment associated with the handling of radioactive material, extensive safety precautions must be observed. Radioactive substances must neither be stolen nor released. For the protection against theft, sabotage, or terrorism, all persons who are safety-relevant with respect to the erection and operation of a repository thus undergo a reliability check through the Repository Surveillance unit (EÜ).
The reliability check of the corresponding persons can comprise the following measures:
- Request of information from the police authorities and from the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution,
- Request of information from the Federal Commissioner for the Documents of the GDR State Security Service to secure a full-time or unofficial collaboration at the GDR State Security Service,
- Request of information from the Central Register of Aliens or from the competent aliens office.
If there is doubt about the reliability, the Repository Surveillance unit can request further information, for example from criminal courts or tax authorities.
Depending on the activity or responsibility of the persons to be checked, the reliability check measures are graded. A person with high responsibility will be checked more comprehensively accordingly.
The reliability check is only carried out with previous written consent of the persons to be checked. Further details are regulated in the AtZüV (Ordinance Concerning the Reliability Check According to Nuclear Law).
