Short summary

In this workshop we want to link discussions regarding extended interim storage to the long-term safety of geological repositories. Aspects of the discussion could be as follows: could the embrittlement of the fuel cladding lead to difficulties in transportation and conditioning? Could the decreasing thermal energy of the inventory lead to temperatures that negatively affect safety-relevant aspects? We are looking forward to a multi-faceted discussion that may go well beyond the given examples.
