Russia Removes Nuclear Fuel from Submarine
Nuclear fuel has been removed from the final submarine to be decommissioned at the Russian Northern Fleet’s Gremikha base.
The submarine has also been disarmed and is expected to be towed to the Nerpa shipyard and scrapped, according to Valeriy Panteleyev, the head of the SevRAO company, which deals with nuclear and radiation safety issues on Russia’s Kola Peninsula.
A delegation of French nuclear experts, officials from the European Union Tacis program and representatives of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development visited Gremikha submarine last week. The visit was to determine progress by the Russian navy and SevRAO in implementing recommendations to better store radioactive materials at Gremikha’s nuclear storage depot.
France is expected to invest several million dollars into the nuclear storage program, Panteleyev said. The exact dollar amount will be determined in future talks (ITAR-Tass, Oct. 14).
