ABSTRACT
The aim of the report is to find some principal
decisions to implement an Agreement between the
Governments of the Russian Federation and the USA on
repatriation of the research reactor spent nuclear fuel
(RR SNF) to the Russian Federation. The report presents
some ideas and approaches to the transportation of the
Russian-origin RR SNF from the technical, economical and
legal viewpoints. The report summarizes the Russian
experience and possibilities to fulfill the program
under the Agreement. Some decisions are proposed related
to application of the international transportation
experience and the most advanced technologies for the RR
SNF handling. At present, there is no any unified SNF
transportation technology that is capable to implement
the transportation program schedule set by the
Agreement. The decision is in the comprehensive approach
as well as in the development of mobile and flexible
schemes and in implementation of parallel and combined
shipments.
