aces

Under the abbreviation "Asse" a salt mine in Lower Saxony is known, which was used for decades for the storage of radioactive waste, until in the year 2007 the final closure took place. In 2010, it was decided to recover the waste in view of the risk of release of the radioactive material. Because in various investigations it could be proved that the brine in the Asse was already loaded radioactively. Also, there was a long time suspicion that in the environment of the aces increased cancer rates occur, but came a final examination in 2012 to the conclusion that there is no relationship. (Fp)
