Environmental aspects of radwaste tailing pond reconstruction

The necessity of reconstruction of the existing radwaste tailings with total area of 3 hectares in Vodny urban settlement from which territory radionuclides are carried over by surface and ground water to Ukhta river is substantiated. In addition, it is necessary to carry out environmental monitoring of the radwaste tailings influence on the environment, i.e. air, soil and groundwater. The existing tailing does not meet current engineering requirements and has negative impact on the environment.
