ЕкономічнЕ обґрунтування стратЕгії подальшого поводжЕння з відходами уранового виробництва Purpose. Scientific substantiation of strategy of further uranium production waste management of the "Prydniprovskyi Chemical Plant" Production Association ("PCP" PA) and directions of possible use of waste storage areas in the future. Methodology. The results were obtained through the following methods: critical analysis and systematization while estimating the impact of uranium production wastes on the population and territory; statistical and economic analysis while studying socioeconomic and ecological consequences of uranium production waste disposal on urban lands; mathematical modelling in economics and optimization while substantiating directions of further management of uranium production wastes. Findings. Influence of different factors on choosing a strategy of further management of uranium production wastes of the "PCP" PA is evaluated. Considering the requirement for long-term maintenance of conformity of radioactive waste (RAW) storages state with laws and regulations in force and minimization of expenses on servicing them, a strategy of further management of uranium production wastes of the "PCP" PA has been developed. The strategy focuses on taking a number of remediation measures on contaminated territories which allow putting them out of service and regulatory control and getting these territories round to free, unrestricted or at least beneficial use by local communities or new owners. A business mechanism of implementing the strategy of further treating of uranium production wastes of the "PCP" PA is suggested. It includes preparation, selection, design, technology and substantiated trends of possible use of the lands in the future, which are directed at minimizing costs on servicing the storages. Originality. New conceptual approaches to the strategy of further management of uranium production wastes of the "PCP" PA have been suggested and the business mechanism of implementing the chosen strategy has been improved. Practical value. A process algorithm for putting storage areas out of regulatory control is developed and the procedure of planning and taking measures on remediation is justified according to the optimization principle. The most appropriate ways of using the storage areas of uranium production wastes of the "PCP" PA after their remediation are proposed.
Economic evaluation of losses conditioned by disposing radioactive wastes of the “Prydniprovskyi Chemical Plant” Production Association on the territory of Kamianske and surrounding areas of the Dnipropetrovsk region is performed. While analysing losses, four uniform groups of expenses and losses were distinguished which include: expenses on protecting and monitoring measures, expenses on remediation measures, social orientation expenses and expenses related to waste disposal. It is shown that expenses on protecting and monitoring radioactive waste storages prevail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
