Radioecological Problems of Decommissioning of the Kola Nuclear Power Plant

Radioactive waste as sources of radiating danger for the environment and population is one of the urgent ecological problems of modern Russia. For the Murmansk region it is of special importance as it differs from other regions of Russia by high concentration of operating nuclear power systems (NPS) on the Kola Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) and also nuclear-powered vessels of the Navy and icebreaking fleet. In the region the Kola NPP is one of the basic sources of radioactive waste (RW). Nowadays on the Kola NPP which has been working from 1973 there are four nuclear power units with reactor WWER-440. The first power unit of the plant should be stopped in 2003, and the last - in 2014. This work is devoted to the prognosis of radiation characteristics of Kola NPS activated structures and the management conditions of RW which are generated by decommissioning of the Kola NPP.
