1 The Federal State Unitarian Enterpise «RosRAO» - Russian RW management operator , Moscow, Russia, Bolshaya Ordynka, 24/26 info@rosrao.ru Sergey Mikheykin Head of the Technical Department mikheykin@rosrao.ru

2 Organization FSUE RosRAO was established on June, 11, 2008 as result of reorganization of separated 15 RWM centers (Former Radon system) The former 15 districts were incorporated into seven territorial branches as its s. Murmansk Leningrad North-west territorial branch Central office Central territorial branch South territorial branch Rostov Grozny Volgograd Nizhny Novgorod Saratov Volga territorial branch Samara Kazan Kirovo- Chepetsk Blagoveshchensk Ural territorial branch Sverdlovsk Chelyabinsk Novosibirsk Siberia territorial branch Irkutsk Far East territorial branch Khabarovsk

3 RosRAO today RosRAO is the only specialized RW Management enterprise operating in Russian Federation on a national scale. Basic activities: Collection, transportation, treatment and long-term storage of RW Radiological monitoring and radioactive control D&D and Site remediation

4 RosRAO. Strategic goals The main goal is to solve problems of accumulated and operational RW all over the country. The strategic goals of RosRAO : Survey long storage sites in order to define an amount of RW to be disposed; Inventory of existing RW management technologies; Creating the new system of long-term storage and final disposal facilities; D&D and Remediation of contaminated sites in the framework of Federal Target Program on nuclear and radioactive security in 2008 and for the period until 2015.

5 Technologies inventory Management RosRAO received a lot of old sites facilities including processing building and storage facilities which was constructed years ago. The problems of legacy sites. Old sites, without acceptable control during decades; Complex contamination: buildings, equipment, soils, tailings, storage of RW; No correct data and records

6 Main tasks for safe operation are: Systematization of the RW types produced in each federal district and transported to RosRAO sites; Present conditions of historical long-term storage facilities; Analyze and choose different types of equipment which is necessary for application at different sites depending of amount, structure of RW, climate and territorial conditions; Developing of ideology of application mobile or stationary equipment for waste treatment and storage facilities; Creation, training and equipment of special teams for D&D and site remediation Projects

7 Legacy Sites Work in Progress RosRAO participate in the Federal Target Program on nuclear and radioactive security in 2008 and for the period until 2015 in the part of remediation of legacy sites: Remediation of the tailings of Chepetsk mechanical plant OJSC TVEL ; Remediation of contaminated facilities on territories of the Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry RAS (Moscow); Institute of Chemistry and Technology of Rare Elements and Minerals RAS (Apatites); Remediation of an area of Novosibirsk Chemical Clean Coals Plant OJSC TVEL ; Removal of liquid RW (288 cu m) from the emergency tank from the territory of the State Institute of Applied Chemistry (St. Petersburg); Participation in decommissioning of Beloyarsk NPP.

8 Work in progress Kirovo-Chepetsk chemical combine Geography: Kirov Region, JSC Kirovo- Chepetsk chemical plant named after B.P. Konstantinov History: The hexafluoride and tetrafluoride uranium production for the defense industry programs Description: Buildings and facilities, storages for LLW and ILW, contaminated territory, tailings inside big chemical combine operated wit non-radioactive materials. Since March, 2009 the legacy site (contaminated area, buildings, storages of RW and tailings) has become a part of RosRAO as it s branch.

9 Necessary works Isolation of tailings Construction of security barriers and screens Decontamination/dismantling of buildings and facilities on the site Construction of the modern RW storage

10 Work in progress Podolsk plant of nonferrous metals Geography: Moscow region, Podolsk district, History: One of the biggest radiation accidents in Moscow region has occurred as a result of a melting of sources Cs-137 which have arrived with the raw materials. The contamination was detected in 1989.

11 Work in progress Podolsk plant of nonferrous metals Description: m3 of slugs, soil, metal and concrete debris. Necessary works The accomplishment of organizational procedures and research works Choosing the technology for separation of waste to minimization of RW volume Waste separation: RW is to be removed to on of RosRAO s sites.

12 Remediation. Almaz Site Geography: Stavropol region, Lermontov town History: In the fifties there was the uranium ore facility, PA Almaz was created. In the middle of seventies mining was closed, the uranium ore enrichment facility was shutdown. Description: More than 10 million tons of tailings, territory of the facility and 2 mines (Beshtau and Byk) 12

13 Remediation. Almaz Site Necessary works Characterization of all site Remediation works on both mines (closing down) Decontamination and demolishing of ore enrichment plant, remediation of the area of PA Almaz (engineering barriers, protecting screens for slurry pond) Transportation of RW to the storage sites 13

14 Characteristics. Almaz The floor area of territories requiring remediation: Mine 1 - Beshtau: 12 sq km Mine 2 - Byk: 3,5 sq km Slurry pond of Almaz: 1.26 sq km Factory administration building: 0.3 sq km Mountain mine dumps 1: 27 dumps, surface 364,950 sq km, volume ,400 cu m. Mountain mine dumps 2: 11 dumps, surface 334,100 sq km, volume ,400 cu m. On the tailings are located: 7 bowls with the total area of 852, 000 sq m, RW in the volume of 12,0 х 10 6 cu m. Uraniferous tails: 10, Plump hole of a subsoil near the mine Vostochnaya Environet kick-off Meeting, IAEA, November The dump slide of a dead ground near the mine 16 of the mountain Beshtau

15 Remediation. Novotroitsk Geography: Chita region, Baleysky district, 3 km far from the Novotroitsk village Description: the territory of the former ore-enrichment plant: tailings, open pits, buildings and facilities. The total area is more than 135 ha. History: the concentration of cerium and lanthanum from monazite ore for the Minsredmash (now it is State Corporation Rosatom ) from 1949 till

16 Possibilities for ENVIRONET: Training in Waste Management, D&D and site remediation Technical visits Participation in the working groups. Expert missions Workshop: Remediation of legacy sites in the framework of ATOMECO 10 -? Member of network -?
