Appendix C Experience of Russian Companies in Transportation of Nuclear Materials Valentin B. Ivanov Institute of Ore Deposits, Petrography, Mineralogy, and Geochemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences Russian companies offer a broad range of services in the area of transporta- tion of nuclear materials (fissile materials, fresh fuel, or spent fuel for various reactors). The services include the following: • preparation of necessary licensing documentation for transportation of the spent nuclear fuel from power and research reactors in Russia and abroad • preparation of nuclear material for transportation; development and manufacturing of unique equipment and transportation of fuel from nuclear power plants in Russia and abroad for research, storage, or reprocessing • analysis of technical parameters of containers produced in Russia and overseas to develop optimal variants for transportation that guarantee high-level security, including protection from fuel failure Recent experience of Russian companies is set forth in Tables 1, 2, and 3. 113

In May 2003, the Russian Academy of Sciences and the National Academies organized an international workshop in Moscow on the scientific issues relevant to the establishment and operation of an international spent nuclear fuel storage facility in Russia. Given the broad international interest in this topic, the academies organized a second international workshop on important issues that were not on the agenda or were not adequately discussed at the first workshop. These issues included international monitoring at the facility, transportation requirements, liability and insurance concerns, and status of Russian legislation and regulations that are important in locating and operating a facility. Relevant experience from Europe, the United States, and Asia was also considered in this 2005 workshop. This book contains the papers presented at the 2005 workshop sessions, as well as proceedings from the 2003 workshop. Together they provide an overview of the issues, and useful background for those organizations and individuals involved in further development of an international spent nuclear fuel storage facility in Russia.
