Description

The paper and presentation Problems Connected with Operation and Decommissioning of RTGs Used for Navigation by Alexander Gordienko, described the inventory and the life cycle of 336 RTGs that were in service at the Russian Ministry of Defense. The author explained the main problems of RTG management and decommissioning: the need for constant monitoring of RTG conditions at sites; removal and replacement with alternative power sources; provision of certified transportation means for RTGs removal and means for personnel radiation protection; the need to create secure interim accumulation pads. Case studies of handling damaged RTGs were presented. International partners were invited to join efforts for RTG decommissioning.
