On the Kyrgyzstan territory there are 46 tailing dumps where stored more than 600 Mm3 of tails. They are man-caused solids of fine-dispersed waste of reprocessing and contain radioactive nuclides, heavy metals compounds and toxic substances used as reagents in extraction processes depending on the reprocessed ore. Tailing dumps of radioactive waste are in the cities of Mailuu-Suu, Kadji-Sai, Min-Kush and Kara-Balta occupied nearly 3,600 m2 of total area. In this connection we are confirmed that for rehabilitation of uranium tailing dumps, along with the engineering works, reconstruction of ecosystems and soil densification, it is necessary to conduct by means of phytomeliorative actions.
