This presentation starts with a brief overview about the current situation of spent nuclear fuel and high level waste storage in Germany followed by a discussion of the expected timeline towards final disposal. Furthermore an overview is presented about research programmes for radioactive waste disposal and also extended interim storage issues due to the delay of the national repository siting procedure. In the second part of the presentation BAM research activities related to extended interim storage are addressed. This includes the status and preliminary results of proactive R&D projects concerning metal seals, degradation effects of polymers used as neutron shielding materials and finally elastomer seals.
