for nuclear accidents. Special attention is paid to the tail-end topics of the
cleanup process: Management and disposal of radioactive waste ensuing the cleanup of
large areas after nuclear accidents. The results cover the following: A scenario of
the amounts and activity concentrations of cleanup waste, description of the options
for transportation and final disposal of the waste, costs of transportation and final
disposal, justification-optimization and cost-benefit analyses. Experimental research
was carried out in two areas: 1) scraping of surface soil layers and construction of
a final disposal site for contaminated soil and 2) interactions of concrete with
contaminated soil.
