Abstract
So far the procedure of complex decommissioning of Russian Nuclear Submarines (NS) has been limited to: -containerization of high-active equipment of Reactor Installation (RI) inside Reactor Compartment (RC) and -temporary waterborne storage of cut out RC as a component of multi-compartment units. Works on making up of onecompartment Reactor Units (RU) for storage on a solid basement are actually at the initial phase. Radioecological hazard of waterborne storage of large-in-number NS withdrawn from service in the Navy and cut out RC increases significantly if their reactors still house Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF).
