Coordinates: 40.357283, 72.585779 The Tuyamuyun massif is a latitudinally elongated block of Lower Carboniferous massive limestones up to 600 m wide. The limestones are almost vertically inclined, broken into blocks, marbleized, brecciated, and cut by calcite veins. They are trapped between the rocks of the Paleozoic strata (coal and clay shales, sandstones, siliceous shales, effusive rocks), separated from them by faults. The surface of the massif is a gently sloping plateau to the north with

43.065664, 74.422723 The state enterprise Republican Specialized Combine (RSC) has been operating since May 1965 and is intended for the collection, transportation, burial of radioactive waste, decontamination of special clothing and linen contaminated with isotopes, as well as for the delivery of radioactive materials to medical institutions in Bishkek. For this purpose, there is a radioactive waste burial site (RWBS), with a decontamination station for vehicles and containers, a garage for

Coordinates: Latitude 42°775173 Longitude 73°832779 The Kara-Balta Mining and Processing Plant (KGPP) is the largest enterprise for the processing of uranium-containing ore in Central Asia. It causes colossal harm to the environment, as the burial of radioactive and toxic waste poses the greatest ecological danger. Four tailings storage facilities in Kara-Balta were actively used from 1955 to 1993. Currently, one of them is periodically used for the storage of non-radioactive gold production

In the late 1940s, the atomic industry started to form in Kyrgyzstan, focused on fulfilling military programs. It was during this period that the development of mines with high uranium and rare earth material content began. From 1966 to 1973, 23 tailings dumps containing about 2 million cubic meters of radioactive waste were decommissioned on the territory of the former mines. Mailuu-Suu is unique in that

41°16’8325″N 71°596774’8734″E In the village of Kyzyl-Djar-12 in the city of Tash-Kumyr, uranium was mined during the Soviet era. This led to a high degree of land degradation around the village, an increase in desertification processes, and deforestation. The lack of positive practices for combating land degradation and proper pasture management resulted in an annual increase in the strength of dust winds and storms during the summer, with exposure dose rates ranging from 20 to 210 µR/h from
