Greenpeace legte am 9. Juni 2015 Beschwerde bei der Europäischen Kommisson gegen den Transport von hochradioaktivem Müll aus dem AKW Jülich in die USA ein. Die EU-Beschwerde richtet sich gegen das Verhalten der beteiligten Bundesministerien, Bundesämter sowie gegen das Ministerium für Innovation, Wissenschaft und Forschung des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalens. Nach Auffassung der Umweltorganisation stellt die geplante Verbringung von 152 Castorbehältern mit Brennelementekugeln aus dem Zwischenlager des FJZ zur Wiederaufbereitungsanlage Savannah River Site und – nach deren Aufbereitung – der Verbleib der Abfälle in den USA, eine Verletzung von Art. 4 (4) der Richtlinie 2011/70/EURATOM dar. Denn EURATOM genehmigt nur den Export von Atommüll aus der Forschung. Der AVR-Reaktor in Jülich speiste jedoch als Prototyp von 1967 bis 1988 rund 1,5 Milliarden Kilowattstunden Strom ins öffentliche Netz ein und könne aus diesem Grund nicht als Forschungsreaktor bezeichnet werden. AVR steht für Arbeitsgemeinschaft Versuchsreaktor Jülich – ein Zusammenschluss vor allem kommunaler Stromversorger.
Ein am 18. September 2014 in Berlin vorgelegtes Rechtsgutachten von Greenepace untersucht, ob der Atommülltransport aus dem Forschungszentrum Jülich in die USA mit den Vorgaben des deutschen Rechts vereinbar ist. Die auf Umweltrecht spezialisierte Hamburger Anwaltskanzlei Günther kommt darin zu dem Ergebnis, dass der Export von Atommüll illegal wäre. Demnach verstieße die Verschickung der 152 hochradioaktiven Castoren in die US-Atomfabrik Savannah River Site (South Carolina) gegen das Verbot, Atommüll aus kommerzieller Nutzung zur Wiederaufarbeitung ins Ausland zu bringen (§9a Abs.1 Satz 2 Atomgesetz). Der BUND Nordrhein-Westfalen stellte am 22. September ebenfalls ein Rechtsgutachten vor, nach dem die geplanten Atommüllexporte aus Jülich und Ahaus in die USA illegal seien, sowohl auf deutscher als auch auf europäischer Ebene. Bundesforschungsministerin Prof. Dr. Johanna Wanka verteidigte in der vierten Sitzung der Endlagerkommission am 22. September 2014, einen möglichen Export von Atommüll aus dem Reaktor in Jülich in die USA. Die Bundesregierung sei der Auffassung, dass ein solches Vorgehen grundsätzlich rechtens sei, da es sich in Jülich um einen Forschungsreaktor handle.
Letztmalig ging ein Transport mit bestrahlten Brennelementen aus dem Berliner Forschungsreaktor BER II auf den Weg in die USA. Der Transport mit niedrig angereichertem Uran (LEU) der untersten Sicherungskategorie III verließ am Abend des 26. Juni 2017 die Reaktoranlage Richtung Hafen Nordenham für den Transport auf dem Seeweg in die USA. Die erforderliche Transportgenehmigung wurde vom Bundesamt für kerntechnische Entsorgungssicherheit noch vor Inkrafttreten des neuen Standortauswahlgesetzes erteilt. Nach neuer Rechtslage, die seit dem 16. Mai 2017 gilt, ist eine Ausfuhr abgebrannter Brennelemente generell untersagt und nur noch in schwerwiegenden Ausnahmefällen möglich. Die Rückführung bestrahlter Brennelemente aus einem Forschungsreaktor entspricht einem Abkommen mit den USA zur Nichtverbreitung von waffenfähigem Uran. Das Abkommen gilt für Brennelemente, die bis Mai 2016 bestrahlt wurden. Insgesamt wurden 33 Brennelemente des Helmholtz-Zentrums Berlin mit niedrigangereichertem Uran (LEU) transportiert. Für die danach bis zum Betriebsende (Ende 2019) anfallenden Brennelemente ist die Zwischenlagerung in Ahaus vertraglich vereinbart.
