Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAIV,volume 22))

Abstract

The whole process of Russian Nuclear Submarine (NS) utilization represents a sequence of many operations of which the principal ones are:

  • Decommissioning;

  • NS waterborne storage with Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF);

  • SNF unloading;

  • NS waterborne storage after SNF unloading;

  • NS moving to special shipyards;

  • Loading of additional Solid Radioactive Wastes (SRWs) into NS Reactor Compartments (RC);

  • RC cutting out and preparing for long-term storage;

  • Subsequent cutting of tail compartments into sections down to merchantable scrap.
