Othmar Schwank was supporting the regional conference “Südranden” as process moderator in a science and policy dialogue on disposal sites of radioactive waste. The regional conference was mandated by the Swiss Confederation to enhance the involvement of the local population of the Schaffhausen/Südranden region in the sectoral planning process for evaluation of nuclear waste repository sites. This process enabled a local body in actively promoting local stakeholder interests within a federal plan for evaluation of repository sites suited for low and medium level radioactive wastes.
