Ekaterina KOLMAKOVA, Evgenia KOLMAKOVA and Irina KOLMAKOVA. Distributed under Creative Commons CC-BY 4.0 Abstract The implementation of innovations and investments is an important condition for business development in the region. Creating a favorable investment climate for entrepreneurs will contribute to the stable functioning and development of the region’s economy. The authors propose a methodology for assessing the innovation and investment potential of municipalities in a particular region. The methodology is based on the analysis of statistical indicators in five groups: production and finance, labor, infrastructure, investment and social sphere. The main stages of the methodology are: to identify indicators that characterize the innovation and investment potential; determine the indicator’s value for each municipality; to assess a complex indicator of the territory’s potential and compare the complex indicator with a data base, which uses the average indicators of the region. The paper considers the structure of the complex indicator proposed for assessing the innovative and investment potential of the territories. A comparison of territories according to a comprehensive indicator of the innovative and investment potential made it possible to identify the most vulnerable areas where measures must be taken to ensure an innovative and investment development in order to develop the economy of the region.

    History of radiation and nuclear disasters in the former USSR M.V.Malko Institute of Power Engineering National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Akademicheskaya Str.15, Minsk, 220 000, Republic of Belarus E-mail: [email protected] Abstracts. The report describes the history of radiation and nuclear accidents in the former USSR. These accidents accompanied development of military and civilian use of nuclear energy. Some of them as testing of the first Soviet nuclear, Kyshtym radiation accident, radiation contamination of the Karachai lake and the Techa river, nuclear accidents at the Soviet submarine on August 10, 1985 in the Chazhma Bay (near Vladivostok) as well as nuclear accidents on April 26, 1986 at the Chernobyl NPP were of large scale causing significant radiological problems for many hundreds thousands of people. There were a number of important reasons of these and other accidents. The most important among them were time pressure by development of nuclear weapon, an absence of required financial and material means for adequate management of problems of nuclear and radiation safety, and inadequate understanding of harmful interaction of ionizing radiation on organism as well as a hypersecrecy by realization of projects of military and civilian use of nuclear energy in the former USSR. Introduction. The first nuclear reactor in the USSR reached the critical state on the 25 December 1946 [1] or 4 years later than reactor constructed by Enrico Fermi [2]. The first Soviet reactor was developed at the Laboratory N2 in Moscow (later I.V.Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy). This was a very important step in a realization of the Soviet military atomic program that began in September 1942.

Merkushkin Ozyorsk Technological Institute of Moscow Physical Engineering Institute, Russia e-mail: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Lake Karachay is situated at "Mayak" PA site. From October 1951 the lake was used as a storage of technological radioactive waste to stop the waste discharge into the Teclia River. At present time the reservoir contains about 120 min Ci of radionuclides. Lake Karachay presents a serious ecological problem being source of the contamination of the air, grounds and underground water. In this work a review of available sources dealing with Karachay's problem is made. Present and past approaches to this problem are shown. INTRODUCTION parting area of Lakes Ulagach.
