Abstract
When considering environmental threats issuing from radiation-dangerous facilities (including the decommissioned NSs), most often the attention is focused on radiation risks. Almost no consideration is given to other hazards coming from the concerned or nearby facilities despite the fact that those threats can exceed by many times the radiation danger. Among such hazards chemical risks and also indirect threats, such as: ecological, psychological, at al. should be mentioned first.
