BOOK
Analysis of Risks Associated with Nuclear Submarine Decommissioning, Dismantling and Disposal
This volume compiles the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Research Workshop held in Moscow in November 1997. The book provides a detailed and interdisciplinary analysis of the risks associated with the decommissioning, dismantling, and disposal of nuclear-powered submarines—especially those belonging to the former Soviet fleet. The work evaluates technical, environmental, political, and economic risks linked to defueling, reactor compartment disposal, storage of radioactive materials, and accident scenarios.
With contributions from international experts, the book offers comparative risk assessments, modeling tools, case studies from Russian and Western projects, and policy recommendations. It serves as a reference for defense and environmental policy makers, nuclear engineers, and international safety agencies concerned with nuclear disarmament and environmental remediation.
