Popis: The problem of disposing of the radioactive waste and spent fuel accumulated in north-west Russia, in the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago, is discussed in this paper. An analysis of risk factors associated with the construction of a pilot facility is given. The investigations carried out are considered to be insufficient in the context of guaranteeing long-term isolation of radioactive waste and spent fuel in permafrost carbonate rocks within Bashmachnaya Bay. Recommendations are proposed concerning the scientific approach to solving this radioactive waste management problem.
