In order to accelerate decommissioning of the retired NS, SNS, NMS, and ecological rehabilitation of the temporary SNF and RW storage facilities, within the period 1998-2002 Minatom of Russia organized implementation of works aimed at modernization of the infrastructure for complex decommissioning in the North-West Russia. The existing infrastructure might be required in solving the problem of rehabilitation of Arctic seas from dumped and sank radiation-hazardous objects. In this paper, we present the systematic information on the infrastructure for complex decommissioning. The preparedness of the infrastructure significantly affects making decisions about options and time of the required activities. We also consider the prospective of further usage and development of the infrastructure to meet the branch demands.
