METHOD OF ACCOMMODATING NUCLEAR POWER PLANT FOR PRODUCING ELECTRICITY IN UNPROFITABLE MINE TO BE LIQUIDATED Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G21D1/00 G21F7/00 E21F15/00 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: pit-bottom is separated by concrete bridges from all other workings of the mine to be liquidated to prevent the access of methane and mine waters to the pit-bottom, and as a potential sarcophagus intended for accommodating the nuclear power plant. To supply electric power to the mine surface substation, power shaft mine cables are used, and the communication channel of the potential sarcophagus with the environment is carried out through the shaft of the mine to be liquidated, made with the possibility of carrying out the operational concreting of the shaft in the event of an accident at the nuclear power plant. The coal-reception hoppers of the collar house of the mine to be liquidated are used as storage tanks for crushed stone, sand, cement and water to start the operational concreting of the mine shaft - blocking the communication channel with the environment of the nuclear power plant sarcophagus in case of an accident that threatens with the environment pollution, and the collar house of the mine to be liquidated is used as the facility for accommodating the complex for accepting crushed stone, sand, cement brought and unloaded by vehicles of the accident liquidation service, preparing concrete and dumping it into the mine shaft to complete the making of the nuclear power plant sarcophagus.

EFFECT: possibility of economical and long-term liquidation of the possibility of an ecological catastrophe in the event of an accident at a nuclear power plant; the significant reduction in capital expenditures for the construction of a nuclear power plant; increasing the employment of inhabitants of a miners' settlement formed near the liquidated settlement-forming mine.
