2. Characteristics of VVR-S Reactor
2MW thermal power, distilled water used as coolant, reflector and moderator
Nuclear fuels type: EK-10, S-36, 9.52 GW day
Operational: , no any incident
Permanent shut down for decommissioning: 2002
Preparatory activities for decommissioning:
Repatriation of Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) in Russian Federation: S-36 in 2009 and EK-10 in 2012
Decommissioning project duration:
Chosen strategy: immediate dismantling
Reutilization of the reactor building as and extension of ELI-NP gamma ray and particle flux experimental aria

3. Repatriation of all the spent nuclear fuel assemblies resulted from operational period in the Russian Federation using road and air shipment (1 shipment-2009, 3 shipment 2012)

4. Repatriation of all the spent nuclear fuel assemblies resulted from operational period in the Russian Federation using road and air shipment (1 shipment-2009, 3 shipment 2012)
From IFIN-HH Magurele-Airport Henry Coanda Otopeni- transportation by road
From Airport Otopeni to the Russian Federation-airport Koltsovo-Ekaterinburg- by plane Antonov 140
From airport Koltsovo to Radiochemical Plant MAYAK from Ozersk Celiabinsk by road, final destination, end user, for reprocessing the Spent Nuclear Fuels
Radioactive Waste high activity after reprocessing will remain at Mayak

5. Repatriation of all the spent nuclear fuel assemblies resulted from operational period in the Russian Federation using road and air shipment (1 shipment-2009, 3 shipment 2012)
Preparatory activities:
Nuclear Safety Report for loading SNF (spent Nuclear Fuels) from cooling pond to transfer cask and then to transportation cask type TUK 19;
Nuclear Safety Report for licensing the transfer and transportation casks;
Security Plan for loading the SNF;
Security plan for shipments by road and by air;
Plan for intervention in radiological emergency situations for transportation by road;
Vehicle and personnel authorized by Romanian Nuclear Regulatory Body and Ministry of Transportation
Training of own workers for loading SNF assemblies

Developed many IFIN-HH procedures:
Handling transfer cask
Loading TUK‑19 casks
Handling ISO containers
Mayak concurred with procedures
IFIN-HH operator training before loading:
Trained at VVR‑S by Sosny and Mayak
Written examinations by CNCAN
Trained with mock-up equipment
Before TUK‑19 casks available
Used transfer cask and mock-up equipment
Final training with empty TUK-19 casks
Qualified operators to load TUK‑19 cask
