METHOD FOR PRODUCING RADIATION-SHIELDING PACKING BLOCK FOR PLACING IN STORAGE ON SHORE Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC G21F9/34 

FIELD: atomic engineering.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method for producing radiation-shielding packing block for placing in storage on shore includes comprehensive engineering inspection of reactor compartment on board large floating facility. Spent fuel assemblies are removed from reactor compartment whereupon the latter is disposed in equipment area premises, and hardening mixture is placed inside containment locations. Packing block is introduced in repair dock wherein nuclear steam-generating plant is cut out of reactor compartment, made floating, and conveyed to storage location. Assembled floating block is brought out of repair dock and upon temporary storage afloat it is entered in transportation-and-transfer dock whereon it is towed to storage location. Assembled radiation-safety packing block is conveyed for storage on shore.

EFFECT: unified available engineering means, enhanced stability of cut-out block holding steam-generating plant.
