Abstract
Radioactive wastes (RAW) storage in clay strata followed by long-term radiation effect on clays results in a noticeable decrease of shear strength and deformation property, with intensification of microbiota activity being a negative factor. Clay properties change provokes the disturbance of hydrodynamic condition and enhances a contamination hazard of water-bearing horizons. Fundamental hydrogeological and geoenvironmental problems require implementation of special engineering treatments for protection of water-bearing horizon used for water supply.
