From page 92...
... A radical means of cleaning up contaminated groundwater is to set up a system whereby water is pumped out and then cleaned using sorption, membrane, and similar technologies. This produces clean or conditionally clean water, which is subsequently discharged or reused, as well as regenerators or concentrated solutions containing radioactive substances and salts, which are processed into solid form.

... All of these measures are aimed at limiting the influx of water from the tailings repository into the alluvial layer, but they do not address matters of how to clean the contaminated layer drained by the Cheptsa River or how to handle the contaminated water that is pumped out. Based on these models, a capture drainage system was designed, including boreholes down to the alluvial layer located near the tailings repository dam (option 1)

... However, an analysis in recent years of the geological conditions and results of experimental work, taking into account the results of studies of existing liquid radioactive waste storage sites at the Mining-Chemical Complex (Krasnoyarsk Krai) , the Siberian Chemical Complex (Tomsk Oblast)
