Nuclear law and radiation protection

Nuclear power plants must be shut down and dismantled, radioactive waste must be temporarily stored and non-radioactive waste disposed of. Research reactors are also being shut down and dismantled. Some radioactive waste still must be transported to interim storage facilities and stored there. In many cases, this continues to raise complex and controversial questions that must be answered in accordance with nuclear and radiation protection law. Legal disputes are often initiated to clarify such issues. Last but not least, the question of final storage for highly radioactive waste remains unresolved.

We can draw on decades of experience in the field of nuclear and radiation protection law, including extensive litigation experience. We advise and represent federal and state authorities as well as companies in matters of nuclear and radiation protection law, primarily in connection with nuclear energy and its legacy, but also in relation to other economic activities and facilities in which radioactive substances are handled, for example in the development and manufacture of medical devices.
