BASE

The Federal Office for the Safety of Nuclear Waste Management (BASE) is responsible for ensuring that people and the environment are protected from ionising radiation from radioactive waste.

Who we are

BASE commenced its work in 2016. The Office is the regulatory and supervisory authority of the Federal Government in the field of final disposal and the licensing authority for the handling and transport of nuclear fuels.

We provide support and advice to the Federal Ministry for the Environment on issues of nuclear waste management and safety. Additionally, we conduct and coordinate research in our subject areas.

„The biggest challenge today, and tomorrow, will of course be to maintain environmental and human safety.“
