SAFETY ASSESSMENT OF THE RADIOACTIVE WASTE TAILING DUMPS AREA OF DNIPRODZERZHYNSKYI INDUSTRIAL REGION BY NEOTECTONIC CRITERIA

Abstract

The article presents results of large-scale (1:25 000) mapping of the new tectonics of the region by morphological, morphometric and aerospace methods. Active at the present stage of development linear structures as well as the total magnitudes of vertical movements in the Quaternary period were singled out and characterized. Safety of the area of tailing dumps of radioactive waste from Dniprodzerzhynskyi industrial region was assessed by neotectonic criteria.
