Federal Constitutional Court does not accept constitutional complaint against Konrad mine
The Federal Constitutional Court announced that it would not accept a constitutional complaint against the planned Konrad repository for low-level and intermediate-level radioactive waste near Salzgitter.
The constitutional complaint refers to the nuclear law plan-approval decision of May 2002 issued by the Lower Saxony Environment Ministry. Claims against the decision had been rejected by the Lüneburg Higher Administrative Court. The Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig rejected in 2007 complaints against the non-admission of the revision to the decisions of the Lüneburg Higher Administrative Court. Thus the legal recourse was completed. Since then the Federal Office for Radiation Protection has been converting Konrad into a repository for low-level and intermediate-level radioactive waste.
