The Federal Office for the Safety of Nuclear Waste Management (BASE) has granted approval for the transport of spent fuel elements from the Research Neutron Source Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) to the interim storage facility in Ahaus.

According to the Federal Administrative Court, the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Research Neutron Source (FRM II) is lawfully in operation. It rejected the appeal by the Bund Naturschutz against the non-admission of an appeal against a ruling by the Bavarian Administrative Court of 18 June 2024. Consequently, this legal issue has been resolved in the last instance and with conclusive effect.
