Konrad 2 shaft, reloading hall

The Federal Company for Final Disposal (BGE) is appointed by the Federal Republic of Germany as the official representative and client and is responsible for the construction and subsequent operation of the repository.

In ZEA, A1 there is a vehicle drying facility for trucks and rail wagons, a special treatment room, a central staircase with elevator, workshops and technical rooms. The associated basement area houses the fire extinguishing control center, a collection tank for extinguishing water and rooms for treating liquid waste.

In ZEA, A2, the delivered containers are transferred from trucks and rail wagons to rail-bound industrial trucks by overhead crane. The containers are transported via a rail system with a cross-shifting system through an incoming goods inspection and a radiation protection tunnel through component A3 into the shaft conveyor system (not part of the project) and from there underground.

The ZEB buffer hall is intended to hold containers in the event of disruptions to operational processes and provide the option of temporary storage.
