ACTIVITIRussia: Sevmorput Naval After two years of construction, Sevmorput Naval Shipyard No. 35 opened in 1938, with a number of workshops and two large dry docks. Sevmorput's principle activities included first-generation nuclear submarine repairs and nuclear submarine refueling,[1] in addition to conventional submarine repairs.[2] However, in 1991, concerns over safety during refueling operations, which usually takes about two months, caused Murmansk oblast officials to halt refueling activities at Sevmorput, located very close to populated areas of the city of Murmansk. As of 1995, Sevmorput's primary responsibility included keeping one Echo II class submarine and one Hotel class submarine afloat in the shipyard. Although the shipyard did not successfully obtain a share of the submarine decommissioning and dismantlement work for the Northern Fleet, management hopes to participate in a project to dismantle conventional vessels.[6] In addition, a portion of the yard has been privatized and accepts work from the merchant fleet when military demands are lacking.[1]
Sevmorput contains a storage facility for fresh fuel assemblies, which used to serve the entire Northern Fleet.[3, 4] Also known as No. 3-30, military unit No. 31326, the facility experienced the theft of 4.5 kilograms of 20 percent enriched HEU from three fuel assemblies in November 1993, after which all of the fuel was moved to another facility.[1, 5]
Although Sevmorput does not store any liquid radioactive waste (which is transferred to TNT tankers), the shipyard houses containers for low level radioactive waste and a solid radioactive waste storage area.[1]
