- Switzerland has announced plans to build a nuclear waste storage facility on the border with Germany, leaving communities concerned about the issues of safety and clean drinking water supply.
- The German Federal Ministry for the Environment has criticized Switzerland’s decision to build a nuclear waste repository right on the border to Germany.
- The proximity of the planned site near the Baden-Württemberg village of Hohentengen “poses a problem both during the construction phase and during the operation of the repository,” said Christian Kühn, Parliamentary State Secretary in the Environment Ministry and and a member of the German parliament (Bundestag) from Baden-Württemberg.
