Zwischenlager Nord, Radioactive waste storage facility in Lubmin, Germany
Zwischenlager Nord is a radioactive waste storage facility in Lubmin on Germany's Baltic coast. The site uses specialized containers and storage systems to manage spent fuel elements and other nuclear materials from decommissioned reactors in the region.
The facility was established in the 1990s to store materials from decommissioned nuclear power plants along the Baltic coast. It emerged as part of Germany's strategy for managing nuclear waste following the decision to phase out atomic energy.
German citizens participate in regular informational sessions about the facility's operations, reflecting the national commitment to transparency in nuclear matters.
The site is generally not open to public tours due to strict security protocols in place. Information about operations can be accessed through official channels and visitor programs operated by the facility's management.
Unlike other German nuclear storage sites, Zwischenlager Nord handles materials from multiple decommissioned facilities, including those from Greifswald and Rheinsberg.
