Abstract:
The paper raises the issues of necessity and possibility of the Arctic water area remediation from sunken nuclear and radiation hazardous objects (DNRHO). Information about amount, composition and condition of dumped/sunken radiation hazardous objects is given in the paper along with descriptions and analysis of various possible management options in order to minimize the threats to humans and the environment. The authors consider the comparative analysis results of various options for managing these objects. Recommendations are given to reduce the existing risks and minimize the threats.
