BGZ Gesellschaft für Zwischenlagerung
BGZ Gesellschaft für Zwischenlagerung is a DEU company active in the nuclear fuel chain as dry_storage.
The federal company that took over Germany's interim stores from the utilities in 2019, including Ahaus and Gorleben. It will hold the country's spent fuel for decades: Germany shut its last reactor in 2023 and its search for a repository site started again from a blank map.

BGZ Gesellschaft für Zwischenlagerung in context
BGZ Gesellschaft für Zwischenlagerung has 2 facilities on record in 1 country (Germany): 2 operating.
How these are worked out: shares and ranks use the world totals cited in the table, and only named companies are ranked (unnamed or country-level entries in a source are not). A facility with no stated capacity is counted as a facility but adds nothing to a capacity figure. Vendor figures count operating units where this company is the recorded reactor vendor; ages count from the start-up year on record, and build times run from construction start to grid connection, as on the age and build-times pages.
