Abstract
Among the problems of Nuclear Submarine (NS) complex decommissioning, that of long-term mothballing of Reactor Compartments (RC) with damaged cores in nuclear, radiation and environmentally safe conditions merits a special consideration. Because of damaged condition of fuel assemblies defueling of such cores is impossible, and the currently used in Russia dismantlement technology (making up of three-compartment units for long-term storage) cannot be applied in this particular case.
