To date, in the territory of Belarus 92 deactivation waste 
storages (DWS) formed as a result of the deactivation of settlements 
after the Chernobyl catastrophe have been registered. Most of them 
are located in places that are unfit for storing radioactive waste. 
We consider the formation of dataware for evaluating the potential 
danger of DWSs based on the results of the examination of objects, 
field and laboratory investigations, and calculation-theoretical research 
and on the literature information about the features of radionuclide 
migration through engineered and natural barriers to the water-bearing 
horizon.
