Tajikistan and Russia signed a cooperation agreement on reclamation of areas affected by uranium mining and ore extraction operations.

The document outlines the requirements for reclamation measures at the Adrasman tailing storage facility and waste dumps of workshop No 3 at the Taboshar industrial site

Sherali Kabir, Minister of Industry and New Technologies of Tajikistan and Alexey Likhachev, Director General of Rosatom, exchanged folders with the signed G-to-G agreement as part of a meeting between President of the Republic of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon and President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin in Moscow on March 17.

The agreement outlines the procedure and requirements for reclamation efforts at the Adrasman tailings storage facility and waste dumps from workshop No. 3 at the Taboshar industrial site in the Sughd region of Tajikistan. The planned activities will foster improved environmental conditions, optimized land utilization, and socio-economic growth in the residential areas of the region. Additionally, they will contribute to the expansion and strengthening of Tajikistan-Russia collaborative efforts in the field of peaceful nuclear energy.

Rosatom was involved in the reclamation of the Taboshar industrial site within the framework of the "Reclamation of the Territories of States Affected by Uranium Mining Production" Interstate Target Program signed in 2012. As a result, the waste dumps of the low-grade ore plant and four tailing storage facilities of the industrial site were brought to a radiation-safe state. The work was completed ahead of schedule in the fall of 2023.
