The results of a calculation of the migration of radionuclides from a repository for solid radioactive wastes from the reactor plant of the Siberian Chemical Works, performed using a method recommended by IAEA with the AMBER 4.4 computer program and by finding an analytical solution, are presented. Three scenarios for migration of radionuclides from the repository are described and estimates of their specific activity in the uppermost water layer and the results on an analysis of the sensitivity of models to a change in the input parameters are presented.
