The paper deals with the quantitative assessment of the safety culture at facilities involved in the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste. Based on the method of the “internal” assessment of the safety culture, being developed in the A.I. Burnazyan Federal Medical Biophysical Centre, Moscow, 123182, Russian Federation, the comprehensive evaluation of the safety culture has been carried out with respect to the personnel of the following facilities: the Northwest Center for Radioactive Waste Management - SevRAO (NWC SevRAO) and the Far Eastern Center for Radioactive Waste Management- DalRAO (FEC DalRAO), which are subsidiaries of the RosRAO Enterprise.

The Department of Energy, Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management expects to begin transporting spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste to the federal repository being developed at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, when it begins operations in 2010. A review of past transport acquisition activities is given. The strategy, and approach used to acquire private sector supplied equipment and services for the necessary transport activities are described and discussed.

There was studied the health of the population of the Dunay settlement located in the vicinity of the “Far Eastern Center for Radioactive Waste Management” (FEC “DalRAO”) at the areа contaminated with radioactive waste and chemicals originated from the activities of the armed forces of the Pacific Fleet over 1950-1980. The subject of the study were health indices of 6207 members of the population of the Dunay settlement obtained from the reporting statistics data (forms 7,12, 19, 30, and 32) over the period of 2009-2013. The health of the population of the Dunay settlement located in the vicinity of the Far Eastern Center for Radioactive Waste Management “DalRAO” over the period 2009-2013 does not differ from the population-based estimates of the public health in the central region of the Russian Federation. Any health effects of manmade radiation exposure has not been found for the population of the Dunay settlement.

Analysis of the results of the activity of the State Atomic Energy Corporation "Rosatom" and the Federal Service for Ecological, Technological and Nuclear Supervision for preparing the Russian Federation reports at meetings of the contracting parties to fulfil the obligations arising from the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management was performed.The main content of the report refers to the fourth national report of the Russian Federation submitted to the IAEA in May 2015. The main results of the activity for the formation of a unified state system for RW management were considered. Analysis of the questions of the Member States of the Joint Convention to the content of the national report was performed. A review of the activities of the FSUE "RosRAO" in terms of solving the basic problems for the safe management of radioactive waste was presented.

Pursuant to relevant provision of the Federal Law No. 190-FZ On Radioactive Waste Management and Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation of July 11, 2011, radioactive waste generated due to the peaceful uses of nuclear charges has been attributed to the non-retrievable radioactive waste (RW) category. Accordingly, relevant RW subsoil areas are currently considered as facilities holding non-retrievable RW with periodic radiation monitoring that should be performed and certain measures provided to ensure the long-term safety of the population. The article presents the results of a radiation survey performed in 2019 for the site with non-retrievable RW inventory generated from the Meteorite-5 peaceful nuclear explosion.
