The neutrons provided in the reactors are used in basic research and for medical and industrial applications: from the production of radioisotopes for cancer therapy through to the improvement of lithium-ion batteries. The research reactors use fuel elements to produce the neutron flows needed for experiments and measurements. After they have been used, the fuel elements from the research reactors in Garching, Berlin and Mainz will be packed in CASTOR casks and stored in the Ahaus interim storage facility. After their interim storage, fuel elements will be disposed of in a repository for highly radioactive waste.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-7bl4l-e50e8700b469811a457bf0fde3983067\">\n.flex_column.av-7bl4l-e50e8700b469811a457bf0fde3983067{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-7bl4l-e50e8700b469811a457bf0fde3983067 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-ko1hdxip-83418b13c7f0501053913af5023f3cc5 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The place where CASTOR casks with fuel elements will be stored after they have been used must be stipulated in the applicable licensing procedure before research reactors can go into operation in Germany.<\/p>\n<p>The Ahaus interim storage facility will be used to store fuel elements from German research reactors.
