The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has approved a new strategy for the reclamation of uranium waste in Central Asia, set to run until 2030.
The plan includes Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, and anticipates active collaboration with international financial and specialized organizations. The main goal of the document is the phased restoration and cleanup of areas affected by uranium mining during the Soviet era.
The total cost of the program amounts to 113 million euros, which includes construction and engineering works, project management, as well as a reserve for unforeseen expenses and additional costs. These calculations are based on existing contracts and current estimates.
It is also worth noting that the new strategy applies to sites with low environmental and socio-economic risks that were previously not included in priority projects. Under bilateral agreements, Russia is allocating 21.4 million euros for the reclamation of such sites in Kyrgyzstan and 15.6 million euros in Tajikistan.
The IAEA is confident that the implementation of this plan will help avoid project duplication, increase the transparency of the ongoing work, and attract additional international support for the completion of uranium waste cleanup in the region.
