Rosatom has completed the installation of a high-tech anti-filtration curtain at the Krasny Bor industrial waste landfill. The 3.5-kilometer-long engineering structure around the perimeter is designed to reliably isolate toxic substances, preventing them from entering the soil and water bodies.
Andrey Nikipelov, Deputy Director General of Rosatom, noted that domestic scientific and production potential was used to create the curtain. Rosatom still faces the tasks of processing waste and completing the remediation of the landfill, but now Krasny Bor no longer poses a threat to residents of the Leningrad Region, St. Petersburg, and neighboring countries.
According to Andrey Lebedev, Director for the Implementation of State and Sectoral Programs in the Field of Ecology, the anti-filtration echeloned curtain consists of 10 components and goes 7 meters deep. Each of the technologies used has a unique function and provides multi-level protection against the seepage of hazardous substances.
