The controversial salt-mine nuclear waste storage facility in Asse, Lower Saxony is not only crumbling but also contains unknown amounts of explosive, it has emerged.
Officials who confirmed the reports are now scrambling to get them removed.
A spokesman for the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) confirmed a DDP report on Friday, saying, there was some there, but only a small amount of old stocks.
He said the explosive was stored, “so that obviously there is no danger for the running of the store, or for the waste.”
The explosives would be rapidly removed, he added.
