Zwischenlager Mitterteich, Radioactive waste storage facility in Mitterteich, Germany.
Zwischenlager Mitterteich is a radioactive waste storage facility in Bavaria with two collection points designed to receive radioactive materials from various sources. The installation houses low and intermediate-level waste from medical, industrial, and research operations in secure storage containers.
GRB established this storage center in 1985 following a contract with the Free State of Bavaria to manage regional radioactive materials. The operation was designed as a regional solution for safe interim storage of such waste.
German nuclear safety standards shape the strict operational protocols, reflecting the national commitment to responsible radioactive waste management.
The facility holds storage capacity for about 10,000 containers in the main building and an additional 40,000 in the utility company storage hall. Visitors should know this is a high-security installation with strictly limited public access.
About 70 percent of storage capacity is reserved for waste from the Isar and Grafenrheinfeld nuclear power plants. This demonstrates the close connection between the facility and the region's power generation.
