    Nope, I’ve addressed your arguments repeatedly and early on as anybody reading this thread will be able to see. The rest of this thread has consisted of your perseverating and claiming to be personally attacked. Again, I wonder what you’re trying to achieve here.

      You have in no way responded to my point that it’s irresponsible to produce more nuclear waste while we do not have adequate long term storage facilities. You have not produced credible sources or arguments in favour of your opinion.

      I want to achieve a civil discussion as stated before.

        The fact that you keep repeating that I haven’t responded to your point is precisely why productive discussion is no longer possible. If you want to achieve a civil discussion then you should go back and read my responses, and address them meaningfully.

          I don’t think that’s true. You have on no occasion addressed my argument, that we should not produce more nuclear waste as long as we do not have a long term storage facility. You just said that such a facility can be built, and I agree that it’s technically possible, but not politically feasible at that point in time in Germany. So given the fact that there is no long term storage facility, why do you think that it’s still viable to produce more nuclear waste? That’s what you failed to respond to. Also looking at this discussion you have not once presented data from credible sources to support your claim that this is no issue.

            You don’t think it’s true, and I think it is true. Therefore we’re at an impasse here. I’ve responded to your point repeatedly and in different ways. I told you that Germany could build the facilities and negotiate with other countries that already have such facilities in the meantime. Meanwhile, plenty of sources have been presented in this thread, and I’ve specifically presented a source discussing nuclear waste storage. Again, I do not see any value in continuing this discussion with you. I’m entirely comfortable with the points I’ve made here.

              No you did not. Claiming that building such a facility is possible it’s not the same as there actually existing such a facility in Germany.

              Exporting nuclear waste to other countries is not possible because of 2011/70/EURATOM. So the waste has to be handled where it is produced.

              I once again responded to your claims with arguments and a credible source. This is IMHO how a civil discussion works.

                There is no imminent threat from nuclear waste in Germany, and Germany has been operating reactors for a while now. So, the claim that all of a sudden it’s not possible to do because there’s no facility that’s up to your standards is just fear mongering. The reality is that Germany simply chooses not to build this facility. Also, maybe should read the links you post as it clearly contradicts your claim:

                In addition, the directive also provides for the possibility of transporting spent fuel and radioactive waste to other EU member states or third countries on the basis of bilateral agreements.

                  Thank you for trying to use arguments and sources.

                  There seems to be another misunderstanding: The cited directive only allows for transportation of nuclear fuel to other EU member states or third party states for e.g. reprocessing. The responsibility for storing the nuclear waste lies with the producer:

                  The directive is based on the general principle that ultimate responsibility for the safe disposal of spent fuel and radioactive waste lies with the Member States in whose territory these materials were generated. Specifically, the national framework to be drawn up by the member states must provide that the main responsibility for the disposal of these materials is in principle assigned to the producers. Member States must therefore ensure that anyone who has been granted authorization to carry out an activity related to waste disposal cannot shirk their associated responsibilities

                  It’s the same source: https://www-base-bund-de.translate.goog/DE/base/bundesamt/aufbau/archiv/bfs-stellungnahmen/DE/2011/02-17-eu-richtlinie.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp)

                    What that says is that the responsibility of ensuring safe disposal lies with the states producing nuclear waste. It says nothing regarding where the waste is disposed as far as I can see. So, again, I don’t see anything here there precludes Germany from making a deal say with France to dispose of nuclear waste there while facilities are being built in Germany.

                    Meanwhile, the risks of storing nuclear waste on the surface level are a result of unwillingness to build facilities to store nuclear waste underground. It is a self inflicted problem.
