Nuclear project list
The following 8 nuclear safety projects - fully funded by NDEP grants - are at various stages of implementation:
Grant 1: Strategic Master Plan (SMP)
SMP is a comprehensive decommissioning programme for the north-west of Russia
Lead IFI:
EBRD
NDEP grant:
€7 million
Status:
on-going
Grant 2: Urgent Projects in Gremikha
Urgent action was required to create safe storage of spent nuclear fuel and to improve physical protection in Gremikha Bay
Grant 3: Radiation Monitoring and Emergency Response System of the Murmansk Region
Enhancement of the radiation monitoring and emergency response systems in Murmansk was one of the first urgent projects.
€5.1 million
completed
Grant 4: Decommissioning of Building No.5 in Andreeva Bay
Building no.5 is a former spent fuel storage and a highly contaminated facility posing serious risks to the environment
€2.25 million
Grant 5: Decommissioning of the Lepse Floating Technical Base (FTB)
Lepse (FTB) is a technically complex and challenging project. Its storage compartments contain high level of radiation contamination.
€43 million
Grant 6: Defuelling of the Papa-Class Submarine
This nuclear powered submarine with buoyancy problems contains highly radioactive components and spent nuclear fuel.
€5.6 million
Grant 7: SNF Transportation System in Andreeva Bay
There are about 22,000 spent nuclear fuel assemblies kept in unsafe storage conditions in Andreeva Bay.
€20 million
in preparation
Grant 8: Radiation Monitoring and Emergency Response System in the Archangelsk Region
Following a similar project in Murmansk, Archangelsk region is now set to benefit from a new radiation monitoring system.
