The discussion addressed the current situation and issues of the factory, including the preservation of chemical substances and equipment on site, future neutralization efforts, management of non-operational and partially demolished buildings, as well as the risks and environmental impacts of these factors. The ongoing work of the interdepartmental task force, which is primarily aimed at developing mechanisms for managing the chemical substances at the factory and neutralizing non-operational equipment, was reviewed on-site. A package of proposals was formed based on the reports, which will be presented to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for further organization of the work.
