the kkm yearly produces around 35–38 m of low and medium level radioactive waste. the waste is compressed "in situ" and transferred to the central interim storage facility (zzl) in würenlingen for conditioning. bkw-staff estimated the storage capabilities on the kkm-site to last at least until 2022. due to the 2006 moratorium on the recycling of spent fuel, the entire stock of exhausted rods is now transferred to the zzl for storage.
