Abstract
Over the past ten years, the Russian nuclear industry has undergone a profound reorganisation. In the course of this development, radioactive waste management has received substantial attention. The Russian Federation has formed a regulatory base in order to define radioactive waste and provide solutions for its disposal. The selected approach includes near-surface disposal and storage of radioactive waste in deep geological formations. Apart from the development of a necessary infrastructure, increased reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel and the development of a closed fuel cycle shall provide answers to the pressing issue of radioactive waste disposal. The guiding principle in restructuring the nuclear complex was not to increase democratic control or ecological standards, but to adjust Russia´s nuclear industry according to the demands of a market economy.
