Radioactive waste storages, left over
from the Soviet Army
• During the period between 1960 and 1990 Armed
Forces of the former USSR disposed radioactive
wastes at some objects.
• After 1991 these object were transferred to Armed
forces of Ukraine.
• Ukraine did not receive any information on nature
and properties of these wastes. Therefore these
wastes are hardly known.
• Currently storages are controlled by these objects
owners. They should ensure their physical
protection.

concrete sections 100х100х270 sm each.
Deepened into ground for 2 meters.
Closed by concrete covers.
• State of storage fullness – fully completed.
• Wastes structure – 60Co, 239Pu, 90Sr ,
137Cs sources etc.
Bringing into environmentally state of
RW storages
• Carrying out of radiation safety audit of
these objects.
• Assessment of objects environmental
impact.
• Development of design project
documentation.
• Radioactive waste retrieval at the State
Corporation Radon special combines.
• Decontamination of territories.
Methods of RW extraction, eventual funding
for work implementation
• Individual projects (extraction technologies) and individual
containers (packages) are required for each storage.
• «Implementing Agreement between the Cabinet of
Ministers of Ukraine and the NATO Support Organization
(NSPO) for the Disposal of Radioactive Sources of Military
Programs Origin fro the Soviet Period in Ukraine» has
been signed.
