Radioecological Monitoring and Decontamination Technology of Norm Sludge from Vuctyl Oil and Gas Condensate Field

P058 RADIOECOLOGICAL MONITORING AND DECONTAMINATION TECHNOLOGY OF NORM SLUDGE FROM VUCTYL OIL AND GAS- CONDENSATE FIELD V. NEKOUTCHAEV E. KRAPIVSKI AND V. RYZHAKOV Ukhta State University Department of Physics Pervomayskaya 13 169300 Ukhta Komi Russia Radioactive contamination of oil and gas production and processing facilities is now commonly known to be an important ecological problem throughout the world. The present paper deals with the investigation of naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) contamination at one of the largest oil and gascondensate fields in the north of Russia – Vuctyl field. Besides the decontamination technology of radioactive sludge from oil-field waters based
