In the monograph some of the most perspective physical and mathematical models that were investigated at NSI RAS in the framework of new technique development for safety evaluation of radioactive waste disposal in geological formations are presented. In order to describe nonclassical anomalous radionuclide transport in highly eterogeneous porous media the models of fractional diffusion, stochastic advection, diffusion in percolation cluster, etc. are suggested. Computational methods and results of numerical calculations are given. In addition, a review of field and laboratory experiment results is presented.

The assumed target for specialists and students in the field of modelling of safety evaluation of radioactive waste.

Supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (Project 07-08-13543-ofi_ts), the monograph summarizes the results of many years’ work of the authors as well as of many scientists and specialists from various agencies on safety for decommissioning of radiation-hazardous facilities of the nuclear fleet in Northwest Russia. The attention focuses on the justification and methodology of long-term strategic planning of nuclear submarine complex decommissioning with the task of fast decrease of existing radiation risks, rationalizing operations and reducing the related costs. For the first time in the domestic literature, the concept of ‘Strategic Master Plan’ is formulated, and the basis for its generation is considered including characterization of necessary procedures used in its development.
For professionals in design and lifecycle (including decommissioning) of nuclear power facilities and for a wide range of scientists and experts in strategic planning of various science-and-technology areas.
