Abstract

At present at coasts of Northwest region of Russian Federation there are sites of storage and decommissioning of retired nuclear submarines, their nuclear reactors, spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste. Some of those sites are not isolated. There is a hazard of release of radioactivity from those sites that can lead to contamination of vast neighborhood areas. The Nuclear Safety Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences has developed the computer model of dispersion of radioactivity in the seas gulfs and bays.
