Germany is facing a storage crisis for its spent Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) and is currently considering a report which recommends that up to 3,100 used fuel elements would be moved to Dounreay in Scotland. The waste would be temporarily housed at Dounreay and then either returned to Germany once new storage facilities have been built, or reprocessed at Dounreay and the waste kept there for up to 25 years. If it is agreed, there will be a huge expansion in Dounreay's waste trade with nearly 120 shipments by road, rail and sea where the current contract for 1992 is for 10 such shipments.
