Abstract
The paper provides an assessment of the problem, which presents the management of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) from ship nuclear power units (NPU) in the north-west region of Russia and suggested is a concept of solving the problem. The concept is based on the utilization of the regional underground storage facility for long-term storage of defective, damaged and other kinds of SNF that can not be reprocessed.
