Title: Decommissioned Russian Nuclear Submarines and International Cooperation
Description: "With the end of the Cold War, Russia's daunting fleet of nuclear submarines became high-priced relics. Their cost of maintenance and operation unjustified, large numbers of them were decommissioned." "Controversy arose within the international community when it became clear that no firm plans were in place to remove and care for the subs' nuclear components. Both sides have set about meeting the challenge of responsible disposal.".

"This book first discusses Russia's economy, the state of its environment, and its navy, and then covers in detail the dangers of spent fuel and related nuclear problems. The engagement of other nations is also addressed, and the author advances a plan to help remedy a troubling environmental problem."--BOOK JACKET.
