The inventory of radioactive waste in Germany is regularly recorded by the Federal Office for Radiation Protection. The conditioned waste volume with negligible heat generation amounted to 130,900 m3 at the end of 2011. The volume of heat producing waste amounted to about 2,000 m3. According to a current prediction the waste volume by the year 2060 is estimated to approx. 300,000 m3 for waste with negligible heat generation and of 28,100 m3 for heat producing waste
