METHOD FOR DISPOSAL OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE IN SPACE.

摘要

A method for disposal of radioactive waste in space provides for placing the radioactive waste in a cosmic module, launching the cosmic module with the radioactive waste into a near-earth orbit and then transferring it into a heliocentric orbit. The heliocentric orbit of disposal is conjugated with the orbit of one of the selected planets of the solar system, provided that the full revolution period on the heliocentric orbit, corresponding to the time of probable impact of the cosmic module with the selected planet, is no less than the time of decreasing of the radioactive radiation intensity of the waste up to a desired level. The plane of the disposal orbit is inclined to the ecliptic plane at an angle chosen from the condition of the passage of said orbit in relation to the other planets of the solar system at distances no lesser than the gravitation field sphere radii of those planets.
