| Summary: | "This book presents the issue of radioactive waste management from the perspective of the German legal system, analysing how lawmakers have responded to the problem of nuclear waste over the course of the last seventy years.

As a result, the book analyses the most recent regulations in place to enable final disposal"-- |
