Popis:	The main results of startup operations and experimental operation of a facility for decontaminating radioactively contaminated soil are presented. The facility was developed on the basis of water-gravity and mechanical separation of soil, making it possible to separate the soil into fractions according to grain size and to identify and remove the finely dispersed fraction which is characterized by high specific activity and in which up to 90–95% of the radionuclides accumulate. The salient features of the technological and instrumentation scheme of the facility are described, and an assessment of its cost-effectiveness is presented.
