Members and Committees

The Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) appoints the members of the Commission for a period of up to three calendar years. A direct reappointment is possible.

The RSK should cover all technical subjects necessary for a competent advice of the BMUV. The members have to provide competent and objective advice. To ensure a balanced advice, the RSK members should represent the whole range of acceptable opinions according to the state of the art in science and technology. The RSK forms committees and working groups for special technical issues.

After hearing the Commission members, the BMUV appoints the chairman and his deputy.

RSK membership is a personal honorary office. RSK members are independent and not bound by directives.

The RSK consists of the following members:

Dipl.-Phys. Richard Lothar Donderer Chairman Physikerbüro Bremen, Bremen
Dr. Christoph Pistner Vice Chairman Öko-Institut e.V., Darmstadt
Dr.-Ing. Thomas Riekert Vice Chairman TÜV NORD EnSys GmbH & Co. KG, Hamburg
Pierre Bois Member Autorité De Sûreté Nucléaire (ASN), Straßburg
Dipl.-Math. Mathias Brettner Member Physikerbüro Bremen, Bremen
Dipl.-Ing. Cornelia Bühler Member TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH, München
Dr. Eberhard Grauf Member se-engineering GmbH, Talheim
Prof. Dr. Annalisa Manera Member Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule, Zürich
Dr. Helena Möller Member Gesellschaft für Anlagen- und Reaktorsicherheit (GRS) gGmbH, Köln
Dipl.-Ing. Carsten Müller Member PreussenElektra GmbH, Essenbach
Dipl.-Ing. Tom-Oliver Solisch Member ESN Sicherheit und Zertifizierung GmbH, Schwentinental
Dipl.-Ing. Uwe Stoll Member Framatome GmbH, Erlangen
Dipl.-Ing. Susanne Wisniewski Member TÜV NORD EnSys GmbH & Co. KG, Berlin

 

By mutual agreement with the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) or on its demand, the RSK sets up special committees to discuss technical issues and to prepare corresponding recommendations and statements. For special issues the handling of which takes a longer period of time, special working groups may be established. The members of the committees and working groups are appointed by the BMUV on the proposal of the RSK. These are normally the members of the RSK.

In order to deal with safety-related issues arising at short notice and to prepare the drafting of statements and recommendations, the RSK and its committees may set up ad hoc working groups for a limited period of time. These ad hoc working groups consist of members of the RSK or their committees.

At present, there are the following committees
