Cogema Technologies, Inc., a U.S. subsidiary of Cogema Inc., was awarded a contract by Lockheed Martin Energy Technology to design and supply two solid waste treatment and conditioning systems for the Zvezdochka and Zvezda shipyards in northern and eastern Russia. Both shipyards are heavily involved in decommissioning of nuclear-powered submarines.
The project is a part of the Co-operative Threat Reduction program. The program was commissioned in 1991 by the U.S. Congress to help secure former Soviet weapons of mass destruction. One of the program’s objectives is to aid Russia to dismantle ballistic missile submarines and secure spent fuel and waste, deriving from the decommissioning operations.
Zvezdochka shipyard, Archangel County, had a solid waste incineration facility built in early 80-s. The facility was capable of processing non-metal waste (plastics, rags), but has never been in full operation. In late 80-s it was practically taken out of service.
The new facility will include a solid waste sorting glove box, a scrap metal decontamination system, size reduction equipment, and a compactor for non-metal waste.

Transport on the Northern Sea Route is not sustainable, and Kirkenes must not become a potential hub for transport along the Siberian coast. Bellona believes this is an important message Norway should deliver in connection with the Prime Minister's visit to China. In an open letter to Jonas Gahr Støre, Bellona asks the Prime Minister to make it clear that the Chinese must stop shipping traffic through the Northeast Passage.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has published a new report on its efforts to ensure nuclear safety and security during the conflict in Ukraine, with the agency’s director-general warning that the situation at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station remains “precarious and very fragile.”
