The paper reports a new approach to the problem of increasing environmental protection during severe accidents at nuclear power plants (NPPs). This approach uses unconventional methods for localization of radioaerosols based not on filtration of vapour-gas flows but on the extraction and cocrystallization of radioaerosols by the formation of mixed micelles with man-made hydrophilic aerosols. The use of various man-made aerosols can provide a decontamination factor at least 10{sup 3} for cesium and iodine aerosols. Nearly a complete trapping of radioaerosols by man-made aerosols can significantly increase the safety of NPPs and minimize the catastrophic consequences of severe accidents. 15 refs., 2 figs., 5 tabs.
