In Moscow’s northwestern Shchukino district, city authorities are planning new developments atop underground pipes carrying liquid radioactive waste, with plans to erect business and residential buildings, a school and a kindergarten.

Locals and experts say these extensive construction works could damage the pipes, potentially spilling this radioactive waste into the environment.

“Inside the old pipes, there are centimeter-thick deposits of radioactive salts. There's a huge cocktail there, with many different radionuclides present,” said Andrei Ozharovsky, a nuclear physicist and antinuclear campaigner.

“In the event of damage to a functioning pipe ... it could lead to the simple spillage of its contents, resulting in local contamination,” Ozharovsky told the Moscow Times.
