Federal Office for radiation protection (openPR) - of Federal Secretary of the Environment the Sigmar Gabriel and the president of the federal office for radiation protection (BfS), tungsten king, assigned group of consultants rejected the criticism at the Federal Office for radiation protection, practiced by the science advice, and reports own suggestions on the modernization of the authority submitted, the industry magazine EUROPATICKER environmental call (www.europaticker.de). In the center of the appraisal the statement is located that the science advice falsely regards the research as a main function of the BfS. The BfS is a scientific-technologic administrative authority with research purchase and no universitäre research establishment, stresses the three consultants.

The BfS works for security and the protection of humans and the environment from damage by ionizing and not-ionizing radiation. In the range the ionizing radiation is for example around the Roentgen diagnostics in the medicine, security while handling radioactive substances in the nuclear technology and the protection from increased natural radioactivity. To the fields of work in the range belong to not-ionizing radiation among other things the protection from ultraviolet radiation and the effects of the portable radio.

The precaution has a crucial meaning for the protection of the population, the persons employed in the working sphere as well as the female patients and patients in the medicine apart from the defense of direct dangers.

The consultants Professor Dr. Hans Peter Bull, Professor Dr. Dr. Klaus king and attorney, senator A.D. Jörg cow beer transferred their recommendations today to Minister Gabriel and president king in Berlin. The science advice had accused in May this yearly in a statement for the department research of the federation to the BfS of omissions in the scientific work. Gabriel and king have thereupon the renowned experts of the public administration asked to examine this evaluation and to advise the BfS in the already current process of the modernization of the office.

In the center of the appraisal the statement is located that the science advice falsely regards the research as a main function of the BfS. The BfS is a scientific-technologic administrative authority with research purchase and no universitäre research establishment, stresses the three consultants. This misunderstanding of role and function of the federal office controls the entire investigation of the science advice. Research has no independent, but only one for the Federal Office however „serving function “. „Crucial for the BfS is that it is able, at any time the conditions of science and technology uses and information to give to be able “, so Federal Secretary of the Environment Gabriel. „To it it does not require compellingly own research “. The consultants draw from the fact the conclusion that a fundamental reorientation of the BfS, as it had demanded the science advice is possible not. That does not exclude efforts to strengthen the scientific authority of the BfS further.

Before this background the group of consultants recommends out an existing modernization strategy to many single points. Substantial corner points are among other things:

1. The relationship of BMU and BfS in relation to the society for lying close and reactor safety ltd. (GRS) and the German society for building and enterprise of ultimate waste disposal (DBE) is to be examined and be decartelized as far as possible. It requires a clear task demarcation also regarding the questions, which tasks are to be noticed sovereign and which could be fulfilled by private enterprises.

2. It should be examined, how the task perception between BMU and BfS can be further improved. A goal must be it of concentrating and to the BfS more free space for independent skilled work of giving in the BMU more strongly the ministerial work.

3. The BfS must be put again into the position to be able to fulfill to it transferred legal tasks in its entirety. Sufficiently financial and personnel equipment is ensured no more at present. In particular in the specialist area „serious personnel bottlenecks, which could not become balanced by savings at other place, would exist security in the nuclear technology “, in addition, in other specialist areas.

Gabriel: „Good equipment of the BfS is as important, with the search and evaluation of polonium contamination to Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein pointed themselves. The BfS carried important clearing-up services out there owing to a qualified team in the context of the central group of supports of the federation (ZUB). “

The team of experts already certifies the BfS considerable successes on that since years hit way of the administrative modernization. BfS president king: „The consultants argued intensively with the tasks, structures and challenges of the BfS and from this recommendations for the modernization of the office delivered. “Gabriel and king stressed, according to their first estimate are the appraisal a very good basis for the intensification of the modernization process in the Federal Office.
