Description
Summary:The situation which has developed at the shore base in Gremikha involving fuel assemblies in the removed cores of water-moderated water-cooled reactors (first-generation submarines), which are located on an open site in containers and receiving chambers, and involving solid and liquid radioactive wastes present at the base is examined. Data are presented on the number of fuel assemblies and their technical state and on the state and amount of solid and liquid radioactive wastes. Suggestions on what should be done with the fuel assemblies and wastes are discussed.
