Abstract: As part of the work, an assessment of the economic efficiency for the most radioactively contaminated agricultural enterprises in the Bryansk region in the period from 2024 to 2034 was carried out using the NPV and IRR method. Previous studies have demonstrated that reclamation measures are necessary on 46 thousand hectares of territory due to the fact that, as of 2024, it is impossible to grow crop products that meet veterinary standards in these areas. The estimated damage to agricultural lands in the Bryansk region will be about 14.9 billion rubles. With a one-time implementation of agrochemical reclamation measures in the form of applying potassium-phosphorus fertilizers, the area of radioactively contaminated land will decrease by 88.6% to 5.2 thousand hectares. The net present value (NPV) in the period from 2024 to 2034 will be 11.8 billion rubles with an internal rate of return (IRR) of 17.8%.
