The OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan (PCUz), Economic and Environmental Dimension  (EED) in close co-operation with OCEEA will be implementing ExB project “Stakeholder Engagement for Uranium Tailings Remediation in Central Asia”, II phase which aimed at engaging and informing stakeholders concerning remediation of uranium tailings in order to maximize its benefit.

The uranium mining and processing industry in Central Asia left contaminated sites where radioactive isotopes, including heavy metals at certain sites have seeped into aquifers, have been spread into the air by wind, and have been absorbed by soil. Across Central Asia, there are about 50 derelict or semi derelict sites that cover an approximate area of 64km² with estimated 812 million tons of contaminated soil from which isotopes are migrating to a wider area. Affected populations are often without external support, and are left to contend with a strong perception of unusually high incidences of health problems with a resultant loss of economic output. The region involves former uranium producers (Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan) and current producers (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan). The project is focused on Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The selection of the specific sites for intervention is based on the location of on-going programmes implemented by EC-INSC and presence or possible establishment of Public Environmental Information Centers in the “proximity” of contaminated areas.
