Abstract

ENTRIA (“Disposal Options for Radioactive Residues: Interdisciplinary Analyses and Development of Evaluation Principles”, www.entria.de) is a joint research project carried out by twelve de-partments and institutes from German universities and major research institutions and one partner from Switzerland. It is financed by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). Scien-tists representing natural sciences, civil engineering, philosophy, law, social and political sciences, and technology assessment carry out disciplinary and interdisciplinary research addressing three options to manage especially high-level radioactive waste: • Final disposal in deep geological formations without any arrangements for retrieval, • disposal in deep geological formations with arrangements for monitoring and retrieval, and • (prolonged) surface (or near-surface) storage. In the paper, the following selected research topics – both disciplinary and interdisciplinary – are briefly introduced in order to provide an impression of the project scope: • Surface storage, • reference concepts for emplacement in deep geological formations with retrievability and monitoring, • radiation exposure and justification of measures, • interdisciplinary perspectives on dose limits, • comparative studies on nuclear waste governance, • nuclear waste governance in Switzerland, • public involvement and the German Site Selection Act, and • citizens’ jury.
