Abstract
To date at least 2 fundamental problems related to management of Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) of transport reactors are pending decision: -removal and reprocessing of damaged fuel and –management of non-reprocessible fuel. Real situations resulted from protracted storage of SNF at naval Floating Service Vessels (FSVs) and Coastal Maintenance Bases (CMBs) accompanied by violations of storage regimes (nonobservance of requirements to water quality in cooling ponds and temperature conditions, leaks out of shrouds housing Spent Fuel Assemblies (SFAs), etc.) have caused considerable uncertainties when estimating factual status of SNF.
