An International Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage Facility: Exploring a Russian Site as a Prototype - Proceedings of an International Workshop

underground structures would be the most acceptable option for the reliable isolation of spent nuclear fuel at the PMCPA site.

  1. Most of the workforce in the region does not suffer from radiophobia and is prepared to support the decision to create an international spent fuel storage facility on the grounds of the enterprise.

Within the framework of a public opinion poll in the Krasnokamensk region, 7063 bulletins were distributed among people who have had permanent work, of which 4021 people (56.9 percent) voted in favor of international spent nuclear fuel storage facility construction. Bulletins were also distributed among 405 people who have had no permanent work, of which 170 people (41.2 percent) voted in favor of storage facility construction. Vasily Velichkin, July 12, 2004.
