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.

Radioactive waste derives from all phases of the nuclear fuel cycle and from the use of radioactive materials in industrial, medical, military and research applications; all such wastes must be managed safely. The most hazardous and long-lived wastes, such as spent nuclear fuel and waste from nuclear fuel reprocessing, must be contained and isolated from humans and the environment for many thousands of years. Many Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) member countries are, therefore, researching plans for the management of long-lived radioactive waste in engineered facilities, or repositories, located deep underground in suitable geological formations.

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.

Introduction: the control function of the European Commission in the field of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel management is very important both now and in the future, so the European Commission is responsible, together with Euratom, to future generations for the matters of nuclear burials within the territory of the EU. The purpose of the study was to monitor the European Commission’s handling of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel. Methods: the methodological framework for the research is a set of methods of scientific knowledge based on dialectical and historical materialism, the methods of logical and structural-functional analysis. Results: the author’s well-founded position is based on EU law and the opinions of the competent scientific community in Russia and abroad on the role of the European Commission in the implementation of the function of control and supervision in the nuclear field, in particular, for the management of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel. The reports that the European Commission makes to the European Parliament and the Council of the EU reveal all the situation in the sphere of RW and SNF management in the EU member states, which makes it possible to keep the situation under control. Conclusions: the study revealed the important role of the European Commission in the system of control of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel together with Euratom to adjust the actions of the EU member states in the sphere of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel.

This article describes promising technological solutions for the processing, storage and transportation of radioactive waste (RW) implemented by a leading Russian enterprise specializing in the field of radioactive waste management. Federal State Unitary Enterprise "RosRAO" performs nationallevel tasks to ensure nuclear, radiation and environmental safety in the treatment of all types of radioactive waste. To date, FSUE "RosRAO" has a number of ready-made solutions aimed at saving resources while maintaining the radiation and environmental safety by reducing logistics costs due to using large containers for transportation and storage; maximum recycling of waste at the site of its formation or interim storage with the help of mobile systems; creation and operation of easily erected facilities for temporary storage of solid radioactive waste before transferring it for conditioning or disposal. In recent years, we completed a number of major projects focused on improving the radioecological situation on the territory of Russia. The Regional Centre for conditioning and long-term storage of radioactive waste, largest in Russia, was put into operation in Sayda Guba in Murmansk region. Works for state needs were performed to bring radiationhazardous objects to a safe state and to reclaim territories of the Russian Federation subjects exposed to radiation as a result of past activities in the Trans-Baikal and Stavropol territories, Kirov, Moscow, Ivanovo and Orenburg regions.
