Fiege has been granted a licence under the Nuclear Energy Act. Interested parties have the right to appeal against this licence until 5 August 2026.
Purpose of the licence
Fiege is a logistics company on Boeilijn 1 in Westzaan, with activities including the transport of radioactive materials to hospitals. It occasionally uses a special temporary storage facility to store such shipments for further transport. Fiege already has a valid licence for these transport activities and the temporary storage.
The company has now applied for a licence amendment as it has moved to Boeilijn 1, Westzaan. It has built a special storage facility in a bunker at its new location that offers adequate shielding against radiation exposure and is secured against intruders.
Appeals possible until 5 August 2026
If you wish to object to the licence, you can appeal to the Administrative Jurisdiction Division of the Council of State until 5 August 2026.
There are three situations in which you may submit an appeal. To submit an appeal, you must be an interested party directly affected by the licence. Additionally, you can submit an appeal if you previously submitted a statement of view for the draft licence.
