Germany's Search for a Nuclear Waste Storage Facility Nemo Spoiler: You'll have to choose from less than 5% of Germany's area. During more than 60 years of nuclear energy, 27 thousand cubic meters of highly radioactive waste accumulated in Germany. For now they are stored in 16 temporary warehouses above ground, but no later than 2050 they must find a permanent residence. The problem is that the number of federal lands unsuitable for nuclear disposal is increasing all the time - there are now five of them. Bayern is very suitable, but there is a nuance here in the character of Prime Minister Soder. He does not want to dump waste, although he himself once actively supported Germany's return to nuclear power and the construction of tiny reactors. The main thing is not to create waste in Winden cave near the nuclear power plant. Otherwise everything can end badly or start?
