SOLID RADIOACTIVE WASTE TREATMENT INITIATIVES FOR NUCLEAR SUBMARINE DECOMMISSIONING WASTES UNDER THE AMEC PROGRAM
The volume of solid radioactive waste (SRW) generated from decommissioning Russia’s nuclear submarines far exceeds existing SRW management capabilities of the Russian Northern Fleet. Inadequate management of this waste poses a substantial threat for pollution of the fragile Arctic environment. The A...
