Abstract: 
The regulatory framework for radioactive waste management and its peculiarities in crisis situations are analyzed. The perspective directions of creation of high-tech materials for solid-state matrices for radioactive waste immobilization are determined. A methodological approach to the creation of high-strength glass-ceramic materials with high resistance to radiation, chemical, thermal, and mechanical effects has been developed. The choice of glass compositions for obtaining glass-ceramic materials and compositions based on them for the inclusion of radioactive waste in their composition is substantiated. The structure and the influence of phase composition on the functional properties of glass-ceramic materials are investigated. The prospects of using glass-ceramic materials based on anorthite and hydroxyapatite for long-term immobilization of radioactive waste in crisis situations are determined.
