Reaktor-Sicherheitskommission (RSK)

The "Reaktor-Sicherheitskommission" (RSK) was established by statute in 1958 to advise the BMUB on safety issues related to the generation of nuclear power, nuclear waste management and nuclear fuel fabrication.

The RSK develops recommendations and statements on general and overlapping nuclear safety topics. In additional, the RSK assesses issues raised by BMUB from its supervisory activities including conclusions drawn from incidents at foreign nuclear facilities and their applicability to German facilities.

Since its establishment, the RSK has been engaged in joint discussion of safety issues and exchange on approaches to safety concepts with counterpart organizations from other Countries.

A secretariat established at BfS supports RSK's advisory work. The web site of the RSK provides information about RSK and its recommendations and statements.
