The control in the system of the Ministry of radiation status of the environment which is near former mines extracting uranium, includes field radiometric measurements and laboratory analyzes of soils, waste products in tailing ponds and landfills, sediments, groundwater and surface waters. A network of stations is built for monitoring of soil, groundwater and surface water and air, and produces agricultural products in the areas of uranium mining.
