Abstract

Modern territories of the Semipalatinsk Test Site (STS) are not sufficiently involved in economic activities due to environmental conditions and lack of appropriate infrastructure on them. However, sooner or later they can be used, for example, for development of available mineral and building resources on these territories. Since in these lands the geological environment contains many nuclear cavities that significantly affect the mechanical stability of the surface layers, special studies are required in order to assess the subsurface for their carrying capacity for various infrastructure and economic facilities.This paper presents data on assessing the compliance of the Balapan site boundaries with regard to the development of environmentally significant post-explosive processes. The boundaries of the site, which contain only territories posing direct ecological threat to economic activity, are proposed.
