Abstract

This paper presents the important changes in Germany since 03. October 1990, which took place in the field of nuclear fuel cycle activities in the Federal Republic of Germany (FAG). Due to fundamental political changes in eastern Europe, the existing border between the Federal Republic of Germany (FAG) and the German Democratic Republic (GOA) was opened on the 9th of November 1989. The political decision in the former GOA and also in the FAG led to the re-unification on the 3rd of October 1990. Due to the political changes in Germany a new situation has grown up in the last three years in the field of the nuclear fuel cycle and the use of radioactive material in medicine, technology and scientific instrumentation.
