The Cold War Era left the major participants, the United States and
the former Soviet Union (FSU), with large legacies in terms of both
contamination and potential accidents. Facility contamination and
environmental degradation, as well as the accident vulnerable
facilities and equipment, are a result of weapons development,
testing, and production. Although the countries face similar issues
from similar activities, important differences in waste management
practices make the potential environmental and health risks of more
immediate concern in the FSU and Eastern Europe. In the West, most
nuclear and chemical waste is stored in known contained locations,
while in the East, much of the equivalent material is unconfined,
contaminating the environment. In the past decade, the U.S. started
to address and remediate these Cold War legacies. Costs have been
very high, and the projected cost estimates for total cleanup are
still increasing. Currently in Russia, the resources for starting
such major activities continue to be unavailable."
