TY - CONF A1 - Völzke, Holger T1 - Perspectives on extending interim storage of spent nuclear fuel (beyond the initial license period) N2 - The presentation adddresses the consequences and challenges of the German nuclear phase-out in conjunction with the restart of siting process for a high-level radioactive waste repository. Concerning spent fuel this will lead to extended interim storage periods for the dry storage casks beyond the initial licensing period of 40 years. For extending storage periods additional safety assessments and data about the long term performance of materials, components and casks will be needed and BAM has already been lauching specific R&D projects addressing identified data gaps.
