Review of the studies of radionuclide adsorption/desorption with application to radioactive waste disposal sites in the russian federation

Abstract:The paper provides generic overview of legal and regulatory framework of radioactive waste management activities held in Russian Federation and national operator responsibilities and accomplishments. It gives a short description of waste classification scheme used and plans for radioactive waste disposal. In particular the paper provides information on the plans of the FEDERAL STATE UNITARY ENTERPRISE "National operator for radioactive waste management" to construct and operate several near-surface disposal facilities for low and intermediate level waste with total capacity up to 550 000 cubic meter. The paper also provides detailed information on the steps of high-level waste disposal program including site-selection, construction phase of the underground research laboratory (URL) near the city of Zheleznogorsk, Krasnoyarsk Region and research program after the construction of the URL. The paper also describes Russian system and state policy in the field of RW management and gives recommendations for future implementers.

Purpose: Consideration of the shortcomings of the Government Decision of the Russian Federation of 19 October 2012 No. 1069 on the classification of radioactive waste. Development of recommendations to change the Regulations of radiation safety of current and future generations with the radioactive waste disposal. Results: There was obtained the shortcomings of the Decree of the RF Government dated 19 October 2012, No. 1069 these deficiencies can lead to overexposure of present and future generations of people to unnecessary costs and mixed results in the classification of radioactive waste. Conclusions: the developed proposals for the government’s decision: 1. Completely rework the requirements for waste include in radioactive waste. 2. To exclude from the solution of waste containing tritium. 3. To exclude from the resolution of solid and liquid wastes generated from implementation of the non-use of nuclear energy for mining and processing mineral and organic raw materials with high content of natural radionuclides.
