Abstract

The paper addresses the actual status and the main problems of unloading, storage and subsequent management of Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) of Russian Nuclear Submarines (NSs) with lead-bismuth Liquid-Metal Coolant (LMC) in the primary circuit. On this basis some topical tasks related to analysis of the sources of potential radiation releases and risk assessment are formulated and discussed.
