Abstract

The article discusses the possibility of transportation of radioactive wastes by rail and road for storage to a site of the complex ”Vector” and the site for radioactive wastes ”Buryakovka.” The main objective of the study is assessment of the possible variants of transportation of radioactive wastes, and improvement of efficiency and safety of their transportation. While assessing we have taken into account the cost of capital expenditures for construction, operation of a branch railway, construction of facilities for deactivation of trains, capital expenditures for special trains, maintenance and updating costs for the railway section Ovruch - Chernigov, which needs repair. The cost of construction and operation of the branch railway also included radiation-absorbed doses for personnel. The results of the research can be applied for the development of a feasibility study and for the construction of routes for transportation of radioactive wastes. The best methods of transportation for various types of radioactive wastes were suggested.
