GRS Annual Report 1999

Last year’s re-orientation of the German policy on nuclear power has presented GRS with new challenges. Nevertheless, our scientific and technical commitment concerning the safety of nuclear facilities will continue to be a major task also under the circumstances of a step-wise nuclear phase-out. The conditions of the utilisation of nuclear power in the Federal Republic of Germany have undergone fundamental change, which has quite naturally resulted in a shift of stress in a range of different areas and has also effected a shift of priorities and perspectives. Thus the major aim of GRS in 1999 was to maintain continuity in finding solutions to still existing problems and at the same time to start initiating the necessary adjustments to the company.
