MAPS OF CONDITIONS OF INDUSTRIAL WASTE DISPOSAL – A REQUIREMENT FOR SUBSTANTIATION OF LOCATIONS OF ENTERPRISES PRODUCING HAZARDOUS WASTE

It is noted that the enterprises of a number of industrial sectors produce a considerable volume of hazardous industrial waste that are to be disposed of in geological formations. It is pointed out that with the development of the nuclear industry radioactive waste management poses a very acute problem. A case study of the geological structures, within which Kurskaya and Balakovskaya nuclear power plants are located, has shown that a strategic decision on site selection for new nuclear power plants and other facilities that produce hazardous waste must be made taking into account the possibilities of construction of disposal sites for hazardous industrial waste within the selected areas. Selection of the geological environment, perspective for construction of disposal sites for hazardous industrial waste, must be made in stages: at the concept design stage – on the basis of a set of maps of conditions of waste disposal at a scale of 1:2 500 000; at the investment substantiation stage – at a scale of 1:200 000; at the general design stage – at a scale of 1:50 000-1:25 000.

Key words: maps of conditions of waste disposal, hazardous industrial waste; strategy of site selection for location of facilities producing hazardous waste.
