Vingt-sept experts de six pays de l'OTAN, ainsi que de la Russie et de l'Estonie, prendront part, du 19 au 22 juin, a Moscou, a un seminaire de recherche avancee de l'OTAN qui portera sur les problemes lies au demantelement de sous-marins nucleaires.

Twenty-seven experts from six NATO countries, as well as
from Russia and Estonia, will participate in a NATO
Advanced Research Workshop examining the problems of
nuclear submarine dismantlement from 19-22 June in
Moscow.

Experts will review such key technologies surrounding
decontamination and dismantlement of nuclear submarines
as reactor compartment treatment, approaches to defueling
and transportation, and technologies for improved
treatment of spent fuels. Additional discussions will
focus on radiation safety during nuclear submarine
decommissioning and dismantlement, as well as
presentation of results of radioactive surveys
in the Arctic region.

An anticipated outcome of the meeting will be the
identification of key technologies in need of
improvement, and the formation of East-West
collaborative research relationships to address some of
those issues.

In addition to senior participants from the Nuclear
Safety Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the
Institute of Power Energy of the Russian Federation
Ministry on Atomic Energy, the Russian Navy, the
Russian Institute of Shipbuilding Technology, and the
Estonian Meteorological and Hydrological Institute,
observers will represent the French Navy, the United
States Navy, US Department of Energy, Atomic
Energy of Canada and the Norwegian Defence Research
Establishment.

COMMUNIQUE DE PRESSE (95)60 15 juin 1995

SEMINAIRE DE RECHERCHE AVANCEE DE L'OTAN SUR LE
DESARMEMENT DE SOUS-MARINS NUCLEAIRES ET LES
PROBLEMES CONNEXES

19-22 JUIN, MOSCOU, RUSSIE

Vingt-sept experts de six pays de l'OTAN, ainsi que de la
Russie et de l'Estonie, prendront part, du 19 au 22 juin,
a Moscou, a un seminaire de recherche avancee de l'OTAN
qui portera sur les problemes lies au demantelement de
sous-marins nucleaires.

Ils examineront les techniques de base relatives a la
decontamination et au demantelement de sous-marins
nucleaires, notamment le traitement des compartiments de
reacteurs et les methodes de vidange et de transport,
ainsi que les techniques destinees a ameliorer le
traitement des combustibles epuises. D'autres travaux
seront axes sur la radioprotection pendant le desarmement
et le demantelement des sous-marins nucleaires, ainsi que
sur la presentation des resultats de releves sur la
contamination radioactive effectues dans la region
arctique.

La reunion devrait permettre de recenser les techniques
de base qu'il est necessaire d'ameliorer et d'etablir,
entre chercheurs de l'Est et de l'Ouest, des relations de
collaboration pour l'etude de certains de ces problemes.

Des participants de haut niveau representeront l'Institut
de surete nucleaire de l'Academie des sciences de Russie,
l'Institut d'electricite du Ministere de l'energie
atomique de la Federation de Russie, les forces
navales russes, l'Institut des techniques de construction
navale de Russie et l'Institut meteorologique et
hydrologique d'Estonie, et des observateurs
representeront les forces navales francaises et
americaines, le Departement americain de l'energie, la
societe Energie atomique du Canada et l'Etablissement de
recherche pour la defense de Norvege.
