The KONTEC Symposium, which has been growing steadily since 1993, has now become a magnet for all important national and international companies and institutions that focus on the conditioning and storage of radioactive waste and the decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear facilities. In particular, the procedure for decommissioning and dismantling is attracting a great deal of international attention.

KONTEC has secured a permanent place in the international trade fair calendar and brings together operators, operational experts, plant manufacturers, service providers, researchers, experts and official representatives to exchange information and experience in a unique way.

With its three specialist sections, KONTEC offers the appropriate platform for comprehensive information about the disposal of radioactive waste, in which the status report of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research BMBF on the research projects entitled "Decommissioning and Dismantling of Nuclear Facilities" is embedded is.

Another important and proven part of the series of events is the trade exhibition taking place in the immediate vicinity at the same time.
