Mühleberg Nuclear Power Plant
Federal Administrative Court Decision on operating permit
07.03.2012 – 17:26
Bern (ots)
The Federal Administrative Court has lifted the existing time limit on the operating permit for Mühleberg nuclear power plant (KKM) and simultaneously ruled on a new time limit up to 28 June 2013. The Federal Administrative Court has also decreed that a comprehensive maintenance concept for the long-term operation of the KKM be submitted to the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC) along with a new application to extend the operating permit.
BKW will examine in detail the Federal Administrative Court's ruling, which is not yet legally binding, and decide on how to proceed. A general maintenance concept is already being drawn up with a view to the plant's long-term operation.
