Norway Helps Pay for Transporting Old Russian Navy Nuclear Waste

摘要

This is the first time we will pay for removing. The ship was fully loaded. 14 containers with spent nuclear fuel," says project coordinator Per-Einar Fiskebeck to the Barents Observer. The removed waste contained about one million Curie (37.000 TBq) of long lived isotopes. Unloading the 40-years old spent uranium fuel elements from the rundown storage tanks and repacking them to transport containers came with a price-tag of 5 million kroner (€500.000), while the shipment from Andreeva Bay to Murmansk will cost additional 2,5 million kroner (€250.000).
