Successful test run at the Biblis interim storage facility

While the approval process for the storage of this type of casks in Biblis was still underway, the BGZ team successfully completed all the steps required for the storage of loaded casks using an empty CASTOR^® HAW28M weighing almost 100 tonnes. Independent experts monitored the test run on behalf of the Hessian Ministry of the Environment, which is the supervisory authority for the Biblis interim storage facility.
