NATO is beginning to implement a project on the disposal of radioactive waste in Ukraine, Head of Ukraine's Mission to NATO Ihor Dolhov has said.
“The amount of financing is € 25 million. This project is designed for four years, and it was successfully launched this summer,” he told journalists in Kyiv on July 11.
He said that this is a project on the disposal of radioactive waste at nine military facilities in Ukraine.
“Radioactive waste will be removed and transported to another place where it will be reliably stored,” the diplomat said.
He said that the existing warehouses, in which radioactive waste is stored, are not suitable for a long period of storage, therefore hazardous materials will be transported to special storage facilities in the Chornobyl exclusion zone.
