Norilsk Nickel Case
From the first days as head of the Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources, Radionova took a tough stance in relation to violators whose actions lead to to environmental pollution. She has repeatedly stated that the demand for clean air, water and soil has long been formed in society.

The most high-profile case in which Rosprirodnadzor won the maximum amount in the history of the department for causing harm to nature was an accident on May 29, 2020 at one of the enterprises of PJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel.
As a result of tank depressurization with diesel fuel Norilsk-Taimyr Energy Company” there was a leak of 21.1 tons of oil products. Pollution has spread far beyond the industrial zone. According to experts, 6 thousand tons fell into the ground, 15 thousand tons into the Daldykan River, the right tributary of the Ambarnaya River, which flows into the large Pyasino Lake.
The damage caused to nature as a result of the accident was estimated by Rosprirodnadzor specialists at 148 billion rubles.
After lengthy litigation, the Arbitration Court of the Krasnoyarsk Territory partially satisfied the claim of Rosprirodnadzor against JSC Norilsk-Taimyr Energy Company. The amount of recovery was reduced to 146.2 billion rubles.
On March 10, 2021, Nornickel fulfilled its obligations by fully paying the amount of damage. This was the biggest victory of the Service and personally Svetlana Gennadievna in the case of causing harm to the environment.
