Million Curie Inheritance

A year ago, work on the liquidation of the open water area of ​​the industrial reservoir В-9 - Lake Karachai was completed on the industrial site of the PA Mayak. Media representatives witnessed the laying of the last hollow concrete blocks to the bottom of the reservoir and how the surface was covered with rocky soil.

The completion of the conservation of Karachay became historical for the Mayak plant, the region and the nuclear industry, an event that allows us to talk about solving one of the most important problems that were inherited from the Soviet nuclear project. The federal target program “Ensuring Nuclear and Radiation Safety for 2008 and for the Period Until 2015” helped.

Hourly dead water

The groundwater contour, the state of the backfill elements are monitored by a serious monitoring system, and this will be monitored by specialists from Mayak, specialized scientific organizations, for several decades to go. Karachay, which can serve as a classic example of a site for the disposal of special radioactive waste, will exist for hundreds of years. Special studies have shown that such a repository is safer to leave where it is now, rather than engage in the extraction and re-burial of dangerous fractions in another place.

“A year has passed, and the reservoir was filled up with no surprises,” said Dmitry Soloviev, acting head of the Mayak PO ecology department. - We have installed 1090 signs, which make marks - is there a movement of the ground or not. The processed data will be the basis for building the 3D model of processes occurring under several layers of backfill. At each such point, dose rate monitoring is additionally carried out depending on the shrinkage of the soil and the water level in the closed part of the water area. ”

The study of groundwater migration was initially focused on the efforts of the specialists of “Hydrospetsgeology”, “Mayak”, the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (and then RAS), leading mathematicians and programmers of the Physics and Energy Institute from Obninsk. A three-dimensional model was created jointly that made it possible to predict the dynamics of processes for centuries to come.

“All our efforts are now aimed at justifying the next stages of Karachai conservation and transferring it to a new legal status -“ burial point ”, says Yuri Mokrov, Advisor to the General Director of the Mayak Production Association on science and ecology. - This procedure will take several years. After that, both the reservoir and the territory adjacent to it, as required by law, will be handed over to operation to the National Radioactive Waste Management Operator. The Mayak specialists are engaged in substantiating various aspects of the reservoir safety. This work, which has no analogues in the world today. During the first ten months of monitoring after the closure of the Karachai water area, a decrease in radionuclide release to the surface was recorded, and the groundwater level of the reservoir is at the scheduled elevations and does not cause concern. This led to a further improvement of the radiation situation in the area of ​​the enterprise and nearby communities. ”

History of the nuclear swamp

What is Karachay? The B-9 reservoir formed in the 1951 year at the place of the former closed drainage swamp is a surface storage facility for intermediate level liquid radioactive waste. Its operation continued 64 of the year. Nuclear weapons production was dropped into several hundred million Curie in Karachay. Since the beginning of the B-9 reservoir operation, its level has been rising, the water area has been constantly increasing. Known natural and technogenic accident 1967 of the year (wind separation of bottom sediments), fortunately, did not lead to serious radiation consequences for the population and the environment, but showed the potential danger of a repetition of this in the future under abnormal meteorological conditions. After this incident, the USSR government decided to liquidate Karachai.

During 1967 – 1971, bare previously flooded areas and shallow waters were filled up, and recultivation of the territories around the lake was carried out. Until the middle of the 70-s continued liquidation of the consequences of the emergency, arrangement of the coast was carried out, experimental work on the backfill of the water area began. By the middle of 80-x, this technology was finally debugged. It was decided to fill the reservoir with rocky soil using special structures - hollow concrete blocks, which allow localizing bottom sediments. Currently, more than 200 thousand cubic meters of highly active man-made silts and loams forming the bed of the reservoir are reliably isolated in Karachai.

However, the history of the reservoir B-9 does not end there. For him, as already mentioned, will follow decades.

Karachay, Karachay ...

Chelyabinsk region is known for the most significant accumulation of foci of radioactivity. In 1949, the first in the country industrial complex for plutonium production was launched here, the Mayak Production Association was established. The tight deadlines for the commissioning of nuclear facilities in the almost complete absence of radiation and process control systems in 1949 – 1956 led to the dumping of huge amounts of liquid radioactive waste into the Techa River.

In September, 1957, an explosion occurred at Mayak, as a result of which a radioactive cloud formed that covered the territory of the Chelyabinsk, Sverdlovsk and Tyumen regions.

From the beginning of 50, wastes were also dumped into the shallow marshy lake Karachay.

The author should add that within a radius of 200 km from the Lighthouse there are two cities of a millionaire, the third approximately 300 km with a tail!

[Maximillian von Adelheid]

I was in the Rest House near Kyshtym in the late eighties ... I still remember! The nature is beautiful there, rode a boat and caught a fish in a reservoir near D.O. I haven’t heard anything about radiation.
Perhaps my mother was given a ticket there because she worked at Isotope (I don’t remember a scientific research institute or an NGO, or something else ...). Although, she still says that her specialty is an organic chemist.

[demiurg]

All this would have been created at a time when ministers were dying of radiation sickness. And the generals on the starting tables burned down. It seems to us wild now, and then it was the norm.

[kalibr]

That is, if the minister died, then God ordered the simple hard workers to poison the radiation? The minister, after all!

[demiurg]

In the Middle Ages, it was the norm to at least plant the enemy on a stake. Or hang by the rib in front of your window. This was the norm, and no one is outraged by this.
The thing is that everything was burning in the literal and figurative sense at work, from a cleaning lady to a general secretary.
They just didn’t force anyone to eat uranium. And who knows how history would have turned if the USSR had not received nuclear weapons.

[gridasov]

The problem of disposal of liquid as well as solid radioactive materials is not only not solved, but is aggravated all the time. The amount of liquid radioactive waste is growing and so is the technology for its disposal. or rather, there is no transformation into stable and safe materials. Those who are familiar with the topic know that the only method that had objective prerequisites for obtaining a positive result was the method created by I. Filimonenko. However, it was obviously only a promise to develop and search for a better method and technology. Therefore, the technology we developed for the disposal of liquid radioactive materials is very closely associated with the development of Filimonenko, but our method allows us not to expend energy on the technological process. and produce both electrical energy and other related types, and most importantly, be self-sufficient. energetically. Moreover, the devices and the method are so simple in the technical and technological process, and also allow you to create large-scale processing processes that are not in doubt.
The essence of the method and device consists in the possibility of providing such physical processes that will ensure the receipt of ultra-high temperatures in the medium of dynamic outflow of a fluid flow and physical processes will be an algorithm for the phenomena emanating from the substance of the flow, and not initiated by any kind of energy applied to the transformation of this substance. is achieved by a fundamentally new, but completely obvious and simple method and device. Russia has a chance to become not only a leader in the production of "atomic" energy, but also to provide technologies for the disposal of accumulated radioactive waste. Moreover, the utilization technology also has a reverse application in the reproduction of energy from weakly radioactive materials.
It is worth noting that if Filimonenok’s ideas have not yet been applied not only in the world, but also in his Homeland, then there is apparently no deep crisis with recycling. It would be critically bad, they would take on any valid idea.

Quote: gridasov

method created by Filimonenko I.S.

It was not possible to apply because its installation didn’t work. The Americans stole the documentation on them (or maybe this was the KGB joke) back in the 70s and also did not receive a profit.
The allegedly cunning aki serpent Filimonenko did not include some "key parameters" in the reports.
I really believe, og.
In general, not one of his installations did not work.

[Sergeant71]

I feel that everything will end with the fact that all this “g” will turn out faster, to be transported to the garbage planets by special shuttle garbage trucks, than to come up with an effective and not too expensive recycling method on Earth

[Starik72]

It is difficult to comment on this article to a non-specialist. But I think that the experts in this matter are working on the disposal and use of this waste for the benefit of society. There are successes, and over time this problem will be completely solved.

[gridasov]

if they check the path they are following now, then the probability of success is zero. This is the first. It is impossible to achieve a high energy density that would destructurize radioactive materials by modern methods. It is impossible to maintain such a high temperature even in artificially created magnetic fields, but it can be created and used in a fluid flow medium, as a natural part of the possible processes of transformation of these fluids.
I repeat once again, Filimonenko’s installations gave a promise to the direction of thinking. Cold nuclear fusion is possible and will be carried out, but in a completely different way from the modern one .. The fact is that in our technology exhaust surfaces in the form of the same nickel can be used, and the destruction of the fluid stream gives the hydrogen part. In other words, our process can be ensured by the constant approach of a new batch of contaminated material and the process turns out to be non-stop, and not divided into separate parts of the technological process. Download-processing, etc. This is an important point.

[Baursak]

As the "Gray Brother" has already noted, NONE of Filimonenko's installations has ever worked. Why did you decide that your setup would work based on the same principles.

Russia has a chance to become not only a leader in the production of "atomic" energy, but also to provide technologies for the disposal of accumulated radioactive waste.

Why are you imposing your dubious invention of Russia? In Ukraine, all the problems of disposal of radioactive waste have already been solved, but is there no energy problem?

[gridasov]

First, learn to read carefully. This is the third time I am repeating that the Filimonenko methodology, as well as the development of Fleisch-Ponds, give only the promise to create all the agreed processes. None of them saw and no one sees all the coherence that can give the final result. True, this is already mathematics, but nevertheless, without an analysis of complex processes and the methodology of such an analysis, it is impossible to see the entire aggregate picture of the process. Secondly, I don’t give a damn what you or others call our designs dubious or even different. Know how to solve a problem, solve it. You don’t know - drown in your own shit. Moreover, I do not have to answer for Ukraine and those freaks who are in power. And then . Who told you that I dream of being the savior of the world. . What I wrote is only a very small part of the information and what it can turn into. In addition, you can be sure that we will never work with people of this way of thinking. And I write this not to you, but to those who henceforth want to make contact. You can help the suffering and needy, and not self-confident ignoramus.

[Baursak]

The thing must be done, and not engage in empty fantasies. There are many, maybe not very effective, but effective methods of nuclear weapons disposal.

[gridasov]

We can’t but agree, especially when you barely connect the ends with the ends, just to not die of hunger. But this is not a problem. All modern techniques are distinguished by the unity of similarity. That is, the fundamental approaches are all the same. We are talking about a change in these fundamental principles. Their essence lies not only in the search for a substantive panacea in the search for new materials, but also in obtaining ultrahigh density of magnetic force processes in the algorithm of the complex process of transformation of a hydro gas dynamic flow. Due to this, it becomes possible to control the kinetic energy of the flow to extract the potential energy of the substance. Therefore, in the main, we have changed the methodology for the analysis of complex and superdynamic processes. And without changing the mathematical foundations that underlie the analysis of such high-capacity information processes, it is impossible to come close to what we see. A model for analyzing large information data is a pre-fundamental basis for what can then be put into practice.

[mr.redpartizan]

The problem of the accumulation of radioactive waste can be partially solved by their use in the military industry. U-238 is an ideal material for BOPs cores, and cesium and strontium can be used as fuel for radioisotope generators.

[gridasov]

No doubt you are right that the issue can be solved "PARTLY". But there is a "arrival" of this radioactive waste and in the balance it should correspond to the level of its processing. There are no such technologies and it is close .. Therefore, approaches to the search for ideas and justifications should be sought in a new quality of their perception, and not considering only what everyone has known for a long time.

[Monarchist]

A man lived in our village, worked to eliminate the accident at Tech. He told me that a mound was poured by hand

[gridasov]

A year has passed! The problem is not only not resolved, but also exacerbated. No ideas and no progress. At the same time, completely justified technologies that we offer remain just “under the cloth”

[Evgeniy667b]

As I remember, I was giving a seismic survey along the banks of the mentioned lake. Snow to the waist, then melting began. In an abandoned Kozarm found many stockings from the OZK. The military there left, at 5km-Kyshtym, 300 m-lake Akakul, but it was good and it was good. Then in Moscow they looked at us as immigrants from the other world. More than 30 years have passed!
