Commission Opinion of 20 February 2001 concerning the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste from the dismantling of the Würgassen nuclear power plant located in North-Rhine Westphalia in the Federal Republic of Germany

COMMISSION OPINION

of 20 February 2001

concerning the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste from the dismantling of the W(cid:252)rgassen
nuclear power plant located in North-Rhine Westphalia in the Federal Republic of Germany

(2001/C 72/02)

(Only the German text is authentic)

On 13 July 2000 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
resulting from the dismantling of the W(cid:252)rgassen nuclear power plant.

On the basis of these data and clarifications subsequently provided by the German Government, and
following consultation with the group of experts, the Commision has drawn up the following opinion:

(a) The distance between the plant and the nearest point of another Member State,

in this case The

Netherlands, is approximately 220 km,

(b) Under normal operating conditions, the discharges of liquid and gaseous effluents will not cause an
exposure of the population in other Member States significant from the point of view of health,

(c) Radioactive waste arising from the dismantling operations will be stored or disposed of in licensed sites
in Germany; non-radioactive solid waste or residual materials which are released from regulatory
control will be released for disposal as conventional waste or for reuse or recycling,
in all cases
complying with the criteria laid down in the Basic Safety Standards (Directive 96/29/Euratom);

(d) In the event of unplanned discharges of radioactive waste, 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
other Member States would not be significant from the point of view of health.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the implementation of the plan for the disposal of
radioactive waste, resulting from the dismantling of the W(cid:252)rgassen nuclear power plant, 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, significant from the point of view of health, of the water,
soil or airspace of another Member State.

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2001/C 53/04)

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 12 February 2001 the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
1.
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1310/97 (2),
by which the undertakings Vattenfall AB (Vattenfall), Sweden, and Hamburger Elektrizit(cid:228)tswerke Aktienge-
sellschaft (HEW), Germany, acquire, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Regulation, joint control
of Nordic Powerhouse GmbH (NPH), Germany, by way of purchase of shares in a newly created company
constituting a joint venture.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

(cid:151) Vattenfall: generation, transmission, distribution and supply of electricity,

(cid:151) HEW: generation, transmission, distribution and supply of electricity,

(cid:151) NPH: physical and financial trading of energy products.

3.
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within
the scope of Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant
to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under
Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (3), it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under
the procedure set out in the notice.

overall average figure for 1999, and if not, why not?
