For nearly three decades GNS also operated the German central interim storage facilities for HLW, ILW and LLW at Gorleben and Ahaus. GNS treats and packages both solid and liquid radioactive
waste to ensure acceptability of the waste for interim storage and final disposal. In this context, a large number of data and information needs to be collected, documented and updated. For that GNS offers comprehensive software and database solutions, e.g. for tracking operational waste or residues from decommissioning. With its more than 850 employees, the companies of the GNS Group achieve an annual turnover of around EUR250 million. ■
