Abstract: | Conclusions The proposed method is a safe, technically feasible, and economically acceptable solution to the problem of liquidating the focus of the environmental contamination at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The radioactive substances, materials, and objects will be removed from “Cover” and imperfect storage sites within the 100-km zone around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and placed in storage sites which meet modern requirements. The storage of the wastes will be controllable and monitorable. The object “Cover” will be liquidated. Main Scientific Center of the Russian Federation — Physics and Power Engineering Institute.
