ABSTRACT
Over the last years, the structure of the legal entities to govern all issues of the German nuclear industries has changed significantly. What used to be just one company is now divided into four entities between which responsibilities were shared and new tasks allocated. For this actual example of comprehensive structural changes, in particular regarding conditioning, handling and interim/final storage of radioactive waste in Germany, we apply the STAMP (System-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes), approach in order to demonstrate how the STAMP structure can be used to monitor and master this change. The choice of the industry area of nuclear is solely motivated by scientific interest and excludes commercial aspects. Siemens is not active in the “nuclear waste” management industry.
