Assessment of environmental radiation safety

Description

To forecast radiation hazard, caused by leak of liquid wastes from containments, experimental investigations on NPPs with different type reactors have been carried out. Chemical and radiation characteristics of liquid wastes and capability of rocks underlying the site to sorb waste nuclides, were studied. Presented experimental data and prediction calculations show that under natural hydrogeological conditions radionuclide migration in underground wastes is detailed. This restricts radionuclide contamination. For siting liquid waste storages it is recommended to select regions with favourable hydrogeological conditions
