Berlin: German nuclear commission has shown way for sustainable solution

BERLIN (Reuters) - A report on allotting the costs of atomic waste storage by a commission overseeing Germany's nuclear exit lays the foundations for a sustainable solution, government spokesman Steffen Seibert said on Friday. "The report has been unanimously agreed, opening the way for a joint solution and a sustainable solution was presented," Seibert said during a government news conference. The commission said this week it wanted utilities operating atomic power plants to pay 23.3 billion euros ($26.55 billion)into a state-fund to cover the costs of waste storage.
