Diverse and interdisciplinary

This young authority currently has more than 400 employees working at four locations in Berlin, Salzgitter, Bonn and Cologne, and we are growing still. Licensing, research, site selection, consultation, control – we have a wide range of tasks and duties. They range from the supervision of the search for a repository for high-level radioactive waste and the coordination of public participation, to nuclear licensing for interim storage facilities and transports of nuclear fuel, from procedures for the final disposal of radioactive waste under mining, water and nuclear law to questions of nuclear safety, and task-based research in these areas.

To successfully manage the varied and interdisciplinary tasks and duties of BASE, we employ specialists from political, social and communication sciences as well as physics, law, geography, business, engineering and administrative sciences.

Co-shaping development

Founded in 2014, BASE started its work in 2016. Since then, internal structures and work processes have been newly created and designed or adapted to our growing authority. Your cooperation in this initial phase will help to shape the culture of our internal organisation as well as its external perception by the public.

BASE is headquartered in Berlin-Charlottenburg. There are currently 263 employees working at the Berlin site. Centrally located and equipped with modern facilities, our office provides sufficient space for work, exchange and recreation.

The second-largest BASE office with 150 employees is located in Salzgitter Lebenstedt (Lower Saxony). We share a building with the Federal Office for Radiation Protection. Two of their former departments were assigned to BASE in 2016.

A further nine employees work in our Bonn office at the premises of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, and there are another thirteen employees working in Cologne.

The modern equipment of the workplaces and the possibility for mobile working facilitate good networking between the locations as well as a lively exchange between the employees.
