Description

The only national LLW disposal facility in Belarus, Ekores, is designed for radioactive waste coming from nuclear applications in industry, medicine and research. Its construction in 1964 and reconstruction in 1977 were carried out without due regard for the many requirements of the normative technical documents in force in Belarus. The facility must now be considered as a source of potential hazards that may lead to environmental contamination and increased exposure of personnel and the public. The paper describes the problems to be solved at the Ekores facility and the measures to be implemented to meet the safety requirements. (author). 3 figs
