Year’s second nuclear train left Murmansk
On December 4, special train carrying spent nuclear fuel left Murmansk nuclear-powered ice-breakers fleet base
The train left Atomflot on December 4 carrying approx. two and half spent reactor cores from nuclear-powered ice-breakers and nuclear-powered submarines of the Northern Fleet.

The first shipment for the year 1997 was performed in the end of May from Severodvinsk.
