Abstract
In this lecture we review the general situation of radioactive wastes in Russia. Special emphasis will be given to one of the principal contributors to radioactive contamination of the environment, the enterprises of the Ministry of Atomic Energy of the Russian Federation, which produce nuclear materials for both civil and defense needs (nuclear weapons production). The Federal Program targeted on remediation of the territories contaminated by nuclear materials production will be reviewed, risk assessment methodology in developing an effective cleanup strategy will be discussed, and the R&D needs will be summarized.
