Subject to the indicated Federal Law, burial of radioactive wastes will be paid as per unified tariffs set in accordance with procedure defined by the Government of the Russian Federation.

Meanwhile, the organizations exploiting radiation-hazardous and nuclear-hazardous production units and facilities shall pay for burial of radioactive wastes by making quarterly payments, whereof the amount shall be determined based on tariffs for burial of radioactive wastes and their estimated amount in the current year.

The remaining organizations, whose activity entails formation of radioactive wastes, shall pay for burial of such wastes during their transfer to the national operator based on the actual amount of transferred radioactive wastes and tariffs for their burial.
