The paper lays down and substantiates the refinements and modifications to previously developed basic approaches to assessing collective effective doses, generalized risks of potential exposure, costs associated with radioactive waste retrieval and in-situ disposal, as well as the total extent of environmental hazard in case of radioactive waste disposal in-situ to justify radioactive waste attribution to special RW.

Methodology refinement is based on the experience of its application at pilot radioactive waste storage facilities during RW initial registration and proposals on how to improve the approaches pragmatically introduced by experts from regulatory bodies, scientific institutions and operating organizations. These refinements are consistent with laws and regulations, including federal norms and rules in the field of atomic energy use, sanitary rules for radiation safety, and Russian legislation on environmental protection.
