>A large portion of the Ministry of the Environment's budget is spent on nuclear waste, leaving less money for environmental protection.
> Göttingen taz | “Nuclear waste is devouring environmental protection” – this is how Wolfgang Ehmke from the Citizens’ Initiative (BI) for Environmental Protection in Lüchow-Dannenberg comments on the Federal Environment Ministry’s draft budget for 2025.
>Minister Carsten Schneider (SPD) estimates the total volume of his budget at 2.7 billion euros, which is just 287 million euros more than in the previous year.
>Of this sum, the interim storage of nuclear waste and the search for a final repository account for a total of approximately 1.4 billion euros – meaning that radioactive waste will remain a financial burden forever. In contrast, only about 400 million euros are earmarked for nature and environmental protection.
>Even after its failure, the Gorleben repository project continues to consume significant amounts of money. According to the draft plan, the costs for backfilling the former exploration mine and demolishing the above-ground facilities will rise from €20 million in 2024 to €33 million.
Not only the Ministry of the Environment has to pay
>Compared to the costs of remediating the dilapidated Asse nuclear waste repository near Wolfenbüttel, the expenditures for Gorleben seem almost modest. Between 1967 and 1978, approximately 126,000 barrels of low- and medium-level radioactive waste were dumped in the former Asse II salt mine.
>Because the pit is unstable and threatens to fill with water, the containers should be salvaged and brought to the surface if possible. Schneider's ministry plans to spend around 206 million euros on the work this year.
