This contribution presents an overview of the strategy of final disposal of radioactive waste and summarizes the procedure and present status in Germany. It is concluded that the safe disposal of radioactive waste is feasible but that the public demand for safety has to be met by applying a stepwise transparent and traceable development procedure for a repository in a safety case to obtain regulatory and public approval.

Makale radyoaktif atiklarin nihai bertarafi stratejisine genel bir bakisi sunarken Almanya daki usul ve mevcut durumu da ozetlemektedir. Sonuc olarak radyoaktif atiklarin guvenli bertarafinin mumkun oldugu ancak kamu guvenligi ve talebini karsilamak icin duzenleyici ve kamunun onayinin da oldugu guvenli depolanmasi icin seilafve izlenebilir bir gelistirme proseduru uygulanmasi gereklidir.
