The '''Bundesgesellschaft für Endlagerung mbH''' ("the federal company for radioactive waste disposal", short '''BGE''')
The BGE is tasked with [[high-level radioactive waste management]] which includes looking for a site for a repository for high-level [[radioactive waste]] that will guarantee the best possible safety for one million years as well as operating the [[Konrad mine|Konrad]] and [[Morsleben radioactive waste repository|Morsleben]] final repositories as well as the [[Asse II mine|Asse II]] and Gorleben mines.<ref>{{Cite web|last=BGE|first=|date=|title=Our Tasks|url=https://www.bge.de/en/bge/tasks/|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-11-25|website=www.bge.de}}</ref>
Their statutory tasks include the searching for, and operation of repositories for highly radioactive nuclear waste. The Asse-GmbH, the [[Deutsche Gesellschaft zum Bau und Betrieb von Endlagern für Abfallstoffe]], and parts of the [[Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz]] were merged together on December 20, 2017.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web|title=Hauptsitz der Bundesgesellschaft für Endlagerung|url=https://www.paz-online.de/Stadt-Peine/Hauptsitz-der-Bundesgesellschaft-fuer-Endlagerung|access-date=2020-10-27|website=PAZ-online.de|language=de}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Neue BGE-Atombehörde: Heinen-Esser wird Leiterin|url=https://www.paz-online.de/Stadt-Peine/Neue-BGE-Atombehoerde-Heinen-Esser-wird-Leiterin|access-date=2020-10-27|website=PAZ-online.de|language=de}}</ref><ref>Hans-Jürgen Weyer: ''Bundesgesellschaft für Endlagerung formiert sich.''

It was established in July 2016 after a law on the reorganisation of the administrative structure in the area of final disposal for nuclear waste had passed. It is organised under private law as a [[Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung|GmbH]], a limited liability company, with the sole shareholder being the German [[Federal government of germany|Federal Government]].
BGE has been the operator of the [[Asse II mine]], the [[Konrad mine]], and the [[Morsleben radioactive waste repository]] since April 2017. The company also has offices in [[Berlin]] and [[Gorleben]].▼
▲
The organisational structure and tasks of the BGE result from the German Atomic Energy Act (paragraph 9a, sub-paragraph 3, sentences 2 ff. AtG) and the German Repository Site Selection Act (StandAG). Accordingly, it is the responsibility of the federal government to construct and operate repositories for radioactive waste. In order to fulfil this tasks the federal government shall establish a private corporation whose sole shareholder is the German Federal Government.
The members of BGE's Supervisory Board were appointed in July 2017.<ref>{{Cite web|title=PM - 06/17 - Aufsichtsrat der BGE berufen - BGE|url=https://www.bge.de/de/pressemitteilungen/2017/07/pm-0617-aufsichtsrat-der-bge-berufen/|access-date=2020-10-27|website=www.bge.de}}</ref>▼
