What happens to a nuclear submarine when it completes its final mission? Its hull can be cut up and recycled, but its reactor and spent fuel pose a problem that lasts far longer than the vessel's career. From Arctic wrecks to land-based storage facilities, their fate tells another story of naval power.
In this documentary, you'll discover the story of the K-27, deliberately sunk in the Kara Sea, and the challenges of recovering a wreck still containing nuclear fuel. You'll see why dismantling requires separating the fuel, the reactor compartment, and the other parts of the vessel. The journey continues with storage and dismantling solutions discussed in Russia, the United States, France, and the United Kingdom: industrial choices that will affect generations to come.
This compilation also explores the construction of submarines and icebreakers, the dismantling of oil platforms, the recovery of sunken ships, and the recycling of tanks and excavators.
