COMMISSION OPINION

of 27 September 2010

relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste arising from the decommissioning and dismantling of the FRM Research Reactor, located at Garching in the Federal Republic of Germany, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

(Only the German text is authentic)

2010/C 261/01

On 5 May 2010, the European Commission received from the German government, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, general data relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste arising from the decommissioning and dismantling of the FRM Research Reactor.

On the basis of these data and following consultation with the Group of Experts, the Commission has drawn up the following opinion:

| 1. | The distance between the installation and the nearest border with another Member State, in this case Austria, is 70 km. |
| --- | --- |

1.

The distance between the installation and the nearest border with another Member State, in this case Austria, is 70 km.

| 2. | During normal decommissioning and dismantling operations, the discharges of liquid and gaseous effluents will not cause an exposure liable to affect the health of the population in another Member State. |
| --- | --- |

2.

During normal decommissioning and dismantling operations, the discharges of liquid and gaseous effluents will not cause an exposure liable to affect the health of the population in another Member State.

| 3. | Solid radioactive waste is temporarily stored in an on-site facility before final disposal in an approved repository. Non-radioactive solid waste or residual materials that are released from regulatory control will be released for disposal as conventional waste or for reuse or recycling in compliance with the criteria laid down in the Basic Safety Standards (Directive 96/29/Euratom). |

3.

Solid radioactive waste is temporarily stored in an on-site facility before final disposal in an approved repository. Non-radioactive solid waste or residual materials that are released from regulatory control will be released for disposal as conventional waste or for reuse or recycling in compliance with the criteria laid down in the Basic Safety Standards (Directive 96/29/Euratom).

| 4. | In the event of unplanned releases of radioactive effluents, which may follow an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the general data, the doses likely to be received by the population in another Member State will not be liable to affect the health of the population. |
| --- | --- |

4.

In the event of unplanned releases of radioactive effluents, which may follow an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the general data, the doses likely to be received by the population in another Member State will not be liable to affect the health of the population.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the implementation of the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste in whatever form arising from the decommissioning and dismantling of the FRM Research Reactor, located at Garching in the Federal Republic of Germany, both in normal operation and in the event of an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the general data, is not liable to result in the radioactive contamination of the water, soil or airspace of another Member State.

Web address where the full text of the scheme or the criteria and conditions under which ad-hoc aid is granted outside an aid scheme can be found: http://www.zum.lt/lt/teisine-informacija/isakymai/4948/

Motivation: Under the programme ‘measures for the protection of the aquatic environment’, forming part of the ‘aquaculture’ activity of the measure ‘aquaculture, inland fishing, processing and marketing of fishery and aquaculture products’ under priority axis two of the Lithuanian Fisheries Sector Action Programme for 2007-2013 approved by Commission Decision No C/2007/6703 of 17 December 2007, aid under the water birds protection scheme is granted to aquaculture holdings to preserve features of habitats important to water birds, to create areas of tranquillity and for other nature-conservation measures that go beyond the mere application of normal good aquaculture practice. Aid is granted according to indicators such as a reduction in the income of aquaculture holdings owing to large numbers of wild birds on holdings, the length of stay of such birds on holdings and the amount of fishery products and forage consumed by them. Plans have been made to allocate funds for priority axis two measures and/or areas of activity for the period 2007-2013, and no provision has been made for the possibility of allocating funding for another programme in the ‘measures for the protection of the aquatic environment’ area, which is why a State aid scheme was set up.

Under the State aid scheme ‘aid to improve the protection of natural resources in fishponds’, aid is granted to legal and physical persons rearing and breeding fish in order to provide a haven for protected rare and endangered species of water and wetland birds, creating the conditions for their safe passage. Aid is granted according to indicators such as reduction in the actual cubic capacity of water in fishponds compared with planned cubic capacity, and volume of fish production in ponds (reduction in volume).
