The current state of the radioactive waste temporary storage sites at the Chornobyl exclusion zone

Abstract

The paper provides an overview of radioactive waste temporary storage sites (RWTSS) located at the Chornobyl exclusion zone. The screening, investigation, and other activities currently undertaken at RWTSS in order to ensure their safety, as well as associated obstacles, are outlined. Possible ways of the management of radioactive waste stored in RWTSS are determined, and the necessity of taking the relevant decisions is highlighted.
