A brief survey of the safety analyses procedure for the operational and post-operational phase of the planned German “Konrad” repository is given. The geological formation that is planned only for the disposal of radioactive waste with negligible heat production is an iron ore bed. In the framework of the safety analyses, waste acceptance criteria are derived. These criteria concern the waste form, the waste packaging, and the radionuclide inventory. The potential radiation exposure during the operational and postoperational phase is given.
