The article reviews FSUA Atomflot assets and facilities used to manage spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and radioactive wastes (RW), their modernization and development, as well as sources of the aforementioned processes financing, which include both Russian Federation and International funding. FSUE Atomflot participation in the environmental rehabilitation of the Northwest of Russia is analyzed, part of which is the status of retired atomic icebreakers and special maintenance vessels decommissioning. The key direction of FSUE Atomflot policy is safe handling of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive wastes accumulated by the Company itself and other organizations in Murmansk region. Modernization of FSUE Atomflot infrastructure and material and technical resources is meant to solve this task. FSUE Atomflot operates state atomic icebreaking fleet, which includes commercial operation, maintenance, modernization, repair and decommissioning of nuclear-powered icebreakers and special maintenance vessels. Handling of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive wastes that are accumulated during the process of operation through the assets life cycle is an important part of the Company’s activity. The important role in the provision of environmental safety belongs to the Strategic Master Plan for Decommissioning of Retired Russian Nuclear Fleet and Environmental Rehabilitation of Its Supporting Infrastructure in the Northwest of Russia, which was ordered by Rosatom and developed under scientific guidance by Nuclear Safety Institute of Russian Academy of Science. The article further describes the process of SNF and RW handling by FSUE Atomflot, brings up the statistical data of the materials management and transportation. Second part of the article describes the decommissioning of atomic icebreakers and maintenance vessels as part of the environmental safety provision process. The current status of the process, results and development plans are resumed.

The article provides an overview of the FSUE Atomflot activities aimed at improving the infrastructure and production facilities for the management of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste at FSUE Atomflot and ensuring nuclear, radiation and environmental safety, both in the Murmansk region and throughout the northwestern region of Russia. Carrying out work within the Federal Target Program “Ensuring nuclear and radiation safety for 2016—2020 and for the period up to 2030” in cooperation with production structures of both Rosatom and other federal and regional departments responsible for the ecological situation in the region also takes an important place.

Among all the options of spent nuclear storage, dry storage seems to be the most expedient method for the nearest future all over the world. Despite the economic attractiveness and the presence of a positive operating experience, there are still open questions. In this article author investigates the status of dry storage, gives a review of world experience and current issues that need to be solved to ensure safe long-term storage of spent nuclear fuel.

AbstractIn Lithuania all the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) came from operation of the Ignalina nuclear power plant with two reactors of RBMK type (RBMK is a Russian acronym for 'Channelized Large Power Reactor' which is a water-cooled graphite-moderated reactor: RBMK-1500). Approximately 22,000 SNF assemblies are due for geological disposal in Lithuania. Currently it is envisaged that SNF will be stored in dry interim storage facilities (new and existing) for at least 50 y prior to possible deep geological disposal.The decision on the final SNF management option (disposal in a national repository, disposal in regional repositories, etc.) has not yet been made but some investigations of the possibilities to dispose of the SNF in Lithuania have been initiated. With the support of Swedish experts, analysis of possible geological formations for SNF disposal was performed and the existence of potentially suitable formations agreed. The geological formations prioritized as prospective include the crystalline rocks in southern Lithuania and two clayey formations: the Lower Triassic clay formation and the Lower Cambrian Baltic Group clay formation, with priority given to the Lower Triassic clay formation.This paper presents the main aspects of the research and other activities undertaken over the past decade in the field of SNF disposal: international cooperation; current status and plans for the Lithuanian national program; further investigations required; and competence developments.
