30 Mar Inquiring conservationists on tour

Nanna Høegh Wenzell is a member of the Danish Nature Conservation Society and employed DD as an operating engineer. On Tuesday, March 28, the two things were united when she had invited dn's local branch on a tour of her workplace.

K At four o'clock in the afternoon, almost 40 curious conservationists stood by the gate and were led down the avenue in the mild spring weather. Director Ole Kastbjerg Nielsen welcomed you to the meeting pavilion and gave an introduction to DD tasks – with a particular focus on the management of radioactive waste. The time set aside afterwards for a question-and-answer session proved insufficient, because the group had a wealth of questions.

Subsequently, the group was divided into two and shown around the temporary waste storage facilitys by Heidi Sjølin Thomsen, project manager for the long-term waste solution, and Nanna Høegh Wenzell respectively. Here, too, the question was great, so even though the event was actually set to last an hour and a half, it had been two and a half hours when the guests were again standing outside Risø's gate.
