Abstract

Since 1981 the former rock salt mine Bartensleben near Morsleben (former GDR) ERAM has been in operation as a repository for low and intermediate level radioactive waste. As a result of the reunification and the changed licensing situation a new closure concept for the repository has to be developed. In the course of this work, the optimal design of the plug is currently being evaluated considering also gas escape and exchange of potentially contaminated brine through the plug.
