Rosatom State Corporation, through its Central Design and Technology Institute (JSC CPTI, a Rosatom Fuel Division enterprise), has begun remediation work on the uranium legacy site, Workshop No. 3, at the Taboshar site. The site is located in the village of Istiklol in the Sughd Region of the Republic of Tajikistan.
The work is being carried out under the intergovernmental agreement between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tajikistan on cooperation in the rehabilitation of areas affected by uranium mining and ore production. The rehabilitation activities are aimed at improving the environmental situation and creating conditions for the future safe use of the area.
Previously, the Center for Preventive Maintenance (CPTI) completed a contract to develop design and estimate documentation for the rehabilitation of two facilities in the Sughd region: Workshop No. 3 at the Taboshar site and a tailings storage facility in the village of Adarasman. The documentation received positive approval from authorized regulatory authorities.
"The start of work at the Taboshar site marks another important milestone in our ongoing efforts to eliminate uranium legacy in Tajikistan. The project utilizes modern engineering solutions and strictly adheres to safety requirements. Its implementation will improve the environmental situation, create conditions for regional development, and enhance the quality of life for local residents," noted Yakov Nikonov, CEO of JSC CPTI.
