Utilization of exhausted potash mines in Russia as repositories for radioactive waste disposal

Article preview

The growth in energy consumption demands increase in power output of the existing nuclear power plants and construction of the new ones. Radioactive waste requires high-reliable repositories to be disposed. One of the perspective types of the repositories is underground excavations in halogenous formations (created by underground mining or dissolution through boreholes from surface). The new method of radioactive waste disposal is offered in the paper.

Methodical aspects of estimation of the influence of geomechanical states of coal-bearing massifs on their filtration characteristics

Article preview

The article summarizes the main factors that should be taken into account when developing a methodology to take into account the relationship between the geomechanical state of the rock formation and its filtration properties. The main approaches to solving such problems and their disadvantages are analyzed. The results of the research allow us to establish a functional relationship between the deformation-stress state of the rock formation and its gas permeability. The relationship is based on the analysis of volumetric deformation of the formation and its influence on the filtration characteristics of the medium.

Problem of complex mining of potassium-salt and oil deposits on the example of Solikamsk depression

Article preview

Complex geologic conditions of reservoir deposits and insufficient data on the properties and structure of rock formations often lead to mine accidents. Joint mining of salt and oil formations within one mining allotment at different depths can increase the risk of mine flooding. The article presents the main methodological approaches to justify the feasibility of mining of oil deposits in the zone of salt strata spreading. The article also provides a list of the main problems, the solution of which is necessary to ensure safe joint development of oil and salt deposits.
