Many years have passed since the accident at the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant. During this time hundreds of works regarding the event were published. Altogether they present fairly detailed and reliable picture of what happened, but much has not yet been properly explained. The questions cause not only technical aspects, but also the expediency, timeliness and effectiveness of some organizational solutions. In this regard, it is especially important to come to an understanding of what strategic errors caused the unfavorable scenario of the accident development.

The radioecological problems associated with operation and dismantling of decommissioned nuclear and radiation hazardous facilities of the Pacific Fleet are described. The sources of hazards from these facilities, scenarios for evolution of possible emergency situations and their impact on personnel, population and environment are considered. The bottlenecks and problems that complicate disposal work and rehabilitation of contaminated areas are identified. Ways of optimization are suggested, and the basic ways to solve the existing problems are outlined.
For experts in nuclear, radiation and environmental safety, as well as representatives of the technical intelligentsia and the public interested in the problems of the Pacific Nuclear Fleet.

Systematic information on nuclear and radiation hazardous facilities, sunken and submerged in the seas of the North-West Arctic, is presented in the book. The data on the current radio-ecological conditions in the places of facility flooding and the forecast of their changes are given. A state of protective barriers which prevent radionuclides ingress into marine environment and their expected access to the sea water in case of long-term presence of facilities at the bottom is assessed. The main directions and methods of restoration of marine areas are discussed, and the costs of its implementation are estimated. The capabilities of recycling at the enterprises of Northwest region, including management of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste, and their disposal are discussed.

The book is intended for experts in the field of radiation safety and environmental protection, radioecology and oceanography, as well as those dealing with the consequences of flooding of radioactive waste and wreck of nuclear submarines in the oceans.
