Abstract

The major problem of decommissioning any nuclear facility consists in radioactive waste (RW) reprocessing and burial. It is due to not only the storage duration of the RW, but, in the first place, to the amount and physicochemical properties of the materials stored or buried, i.e., the ecological safety of the RW and end products of the reprocessing processes.
