ABSTRACT
The paper considers major ecological and economic problems when removing radiation dangerous objects from service and rehabilitating the areas, which require their solution: the absence of specific guidelines for ranking the contaminated lands exposed to radioactive and chemical pollution from the potential risk to the population and environment; no clear criteria for ceasing area rehabilitation works; radiation exposure levels for the population living in the areas after rehabilitation; allowable levels of residual specific activity, and levels of heavy metals in soil, surface and underground water and bed sediment. The cost such works is the most important and decisive problem. A decision-making algorithm consisting of three main blocks: organizational-technical, engineering, geological and medicoecological measures is proposed to solve managerial, economic, and scientific problems.

The paper considers the basic approaches to regulating the economic activity of radioactive waste-recycling enterprises. The purposes, principles, forms, and methods for economic regulation are defined. Two ways of solving this problem are given: 1) state regulation of tariffs for basic kinds of work (operations associated with RW recycling); 2) setting standards for the basic expenditures arising in specialized organizations during RW recycling. Elaboration of a federal law on economic regulation of RW recycling is the basis of the economic regulation system.
