The article discusses one of today’s challenges, namely, the decommissioning of nuclear power facilities. It summarizes the experience in the decommissioning of radioactive waste storage facilities belonging to RosRAO’s Murmansk department branch of the Northwest Territorial District providing detailed overview of pre-decommissioning activities, as well as the decommissioning operations themselves, relevant technology and technical equipment applied. Pre-decommissioning stage involved large-scale efforts (2011—2015) on accumulated RW identifi cation and its inventory taking, as well as a comprehensive engineering radiation survey. Decommissioning projects have been developed and approved, a state environmental examination has been carried out with a Sanitary and Epidemiological Statement on compliance with state sanitary and epidemiological rules and regulations issued by FMBA of Russia. The paper presents the practice of constructing some engineering structures to provide additional safety and security of RW storage facilities during their dismantlement. Particular attention was paid to the problems associated with the use of special equipment.

Hydrogeological Behaviour

A field investigation was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of store-and-release (SR) covers made with different phosphate mine wastes in reducing water infiltration (system inclination and surface runoff were neglected) and controlling acid rock drainage (ARD) generation. Four instrumented experimental cells were constructed with different SR layer configurations (two thicknesses and three materials) placed over a capillary break layer. To assess the hydrogeological behaviour of these cover systems, volumetric water content, matric suction, and meteorological monitoring time trends were studied for a period of 1.5 years under actual and extreme conditions typical of an arid climate. Under natural climatic conditions, all net infiltration was released to the atmosphere by the physical process of evaporation (regardless of SR layer thickness and type). Although high surface matric suction (>3000 kPa) decreased the evaporation rate (or release capacity) during the drying period, field tests showed that the studied scenarios limited deep water infiltration even under extreme rainfall events. The release capacity of the SR layer was slightly lower for cover systems made with the finer-grained mine waste (phosphate limestone tailings). This study showed that, for a one-dimensional (1D) condition, the tested phosphate mine wastes have the appropriate hydrogeological properties to be used as components of SR covers under conditions at the Kettara mine site, located near Marrakech, Morocco.
