Konrad
Konrad is a repository facility operated by Bundesgesellschaft für Endlagerung in Germany. It has a capacity of 303,000 m³ as of 2002.
A converted iron ore mine near Salzgitter, licensed in 2002 for 303,000 cubic metres of low and intermediate level waste that does not generate significant heat. Twenty-four years after the licence it is still being built, and BGE has said the 2027 completion assumed since 2017 can no longer be met, with work running about two years behind. It will be Germany's only operating repository when it opens.
