MURMANSK – Removal of spent nuclear fuel from Andreyeva Bay, the
notorious submarine maintenance base in Northwest Russia, beginning in
2017 and the most important job will be guaranteeing radiation safety, a joint conference by Bellona and Russian nuclear corporation Rosatom determined.
Bellona first began working with the Andreyeva Bay issue 23 years
ago. The base was one of the most dangerous radiological and nuclear
installations in the world. With time, technology has caught up to
facilitate the removal and transport of the spent nuclear fuel stored at
the defunct base, Bellona President Frederic Hauge noted at the
conference.
He added that, as a representative of an environmental organization,
he hoped that fuel removal would progress as quickly as possible.
“But in this situation, we must insist on guaranteeing full safety in
the completion of work, both for the personnel, people who are real
heroes, and for the environment,” Hauge said. “Let it go on for a couple
of more years so that it will be absolutely safe.”
