Kalmykov uclear Russia Source Volume (m 3 ) Activity (Ci) Uranium ore mining and treatment , Isotope enrichment and fuel production 1, uclear power stations , Radiochemical enterprises activities Submarine and ice-boat operation , , Submarine utilization Isotope sources 2, , As a result more than 600 Mm 3 of nuclear wastes were accumulated with total activity of 2.5 billion Ci
2 uclear Russia Radionuclide speciation and local (nanoscale) distribution in samples collected at the contaminated sites Techniques available in MSU: UR TEM (JEL 2500), μ-xps, Auger and SIMS (Kratos), XAFS (2.5 GeV line at Kurchatov Institute in Moscow ), TRLIF additionally: anosizer ano-zs (Malvern), SIMS, SAXS, etc. Alpha- track and fission track analysis

4 Year before the plant was launched, complex C was constructed that is the assembly of tanks for LW. The capacity was estimated around m 3 per year. owever the real volume of wastes was 200 m 3 per day. All tanks were filled with LW before 1950 (about a year after the plant was launched). The construction of new tanks for LW was too expensive. From 1949 till 1951 wastes were disposed to Techa river. During this period c.a. 76 Mm 3 of waste solutions were disposed equal to 2.8 MCi.

7 Industrial reservoirs at Mayak site In 1951 the disposal of wastes to Techa was stopped and changed to lake Karachay that don t have connection with open hydrological system. LLW and ILW were also disposed to 8 artificial reservoirs: B-2 (lake Kiziltash), -3, -4, -10, -11, -6, -17 (called also ld Swamp) and -9 (lake Karachay). About 120 MCi ( Bq) of beta-emitters and 1 MCi ( Bq) of alphaemitters were disposed. Industrial reservoirs at PA Mayak

As expected, clays effectively sorb Cs +, but the presence of humic could change the mobility of Cs +, 2. umics form stable surface coatings on mineral particles that change their sorption and coagulation properties, 3. umics could be easily modified and immobilized onto silica surfaces, as a result permeable barrier could be formed, 4. Graphene oxide could be considered as an effective scavenger for cationic forms of radionuclides.
