Abstract
The article presents possible methods for extracting spent sealed sources of ionizing radiation from non-container storage facilities located at radioactive waste storage facilities of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise «RADON», and identifies problematic issues associated with solving this problem. The importance and relevance of the topic under consideration is shown within the framework of the implementation of the program for the rehabilitation of «nuclear heritage» objects in the absence of experience in removing spent sealed sources of ionizing radiation from storage facilities of this type in modern conditions. A brief description and existing design features of containerless storage facilities for spent sealed sources of ionizing radiation located on the territory of radioactive waste storage facilities are provided. Information is presented on completed and planned research and development work aimed at implementing methods for extracting spent sealed sources of ionizing radiation from containerless storage facilities. The practical application of methods for retrieving spent sealed sources of ionizing radiation from containerless storage facilities within the framework of the implementation of projects for the decommissioning of radioactive waste storage facilities is described. Conclusions are drawn about the prospects obtained by implementing the presented methods for extracting spent sealed sources of ionizing radiation from containerless storage facilities.
