Evaluation of geological formations of eastern europe countries for RAW disposal and elaboration of joint RD programmes

摘要

The development of national R&D programmes on RAW management in the countries of East Eurpoe is inevitable due to the fact that some of them (Ukraine, Russia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania), have rather developed nuclear power industries, whereas some others are planning their development (Poland, Byelarus, Lithuania, etc.). The majority of east European countries have their own R&D programmes. The territories of these countries are situated within the limits of the East European geological platforms. As to RAW disposal these geological areas and consequently, the geological regions of East European countries are in very different conditions. However all the countries making use of nuclear power and other iindustries producing RAW, are facing a need to solve the problem of RAW disposal and to develop their own national programmes. Thus, the different geological environments for RAW disposal, which are extremtly unfavorable in some countries, may be coonsidered as a reason for joint R&D programmes initiation. The aim of these programmes is a detailed evaluation of geological formations and geological structure of East European countries as to increase the efficiency of national R&D prgrammes as well as to ground subsequent joint actions related to RAW disposal.
