Abstract
One of the key directions of the economic development of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the rational use of natural resources, while ensuring environmental and industrial safety in their development within the zone of influence of a nuclear power plant (NPP). In this context, special attention is given to the protection of the Akbakai gold-bearing zone adjacent to the NPP construction area. The features of rock mass and ground surface displacement during large-scale and long-term exploitation of mineral deposits are examined. For reliable forecasting of geomechanical and geodynamic processes in the Akbakai ore zone, a geotechnical monitoring methodology is proposed. On this basis, a geodynamic polygon has been established, incorporating modern measurement systems that enable effective prediction of hazardous geoprocesses and the implementation of management measures. The proposed methodology is used in the theses of master’s and doctoral students of Satbayev Kazakh National Research Technical University.
