In November 2021, Exlterra announced its first historic results in decontaminating one hectare of the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

One year after its installation, the NSPS technology had already reduced radioactivity in the air and soil by more than 35%.

Exlterra’s program at the Chernobyl site provides to monitor the situation for five years, the time necessary for our NSPS installation to “clean up” the contaminated site to recover the natural radioactivity level that existed prior to the 1986 disaster.

Although the NSPS system continues to decontaminate the soil, the conflict in Ukraine prevents our SSE Ecocenter colleagues from visiting the NSPS area to collect soil samples for analysis and measure air quality. As soon as the situation allows it, monitoring work will resume.

We would like to take this opportunity to send our regards to all our colleagues at SSE Ecocenter, especially its director, Sergey Kireev, and project manager, Aleksandr Barsukov. Exlterra is with you all the way and continues to support you in these extremely difficult times.
