THE TECHNOLOGY OF LIFTING NUCLEAR- AND RADIATION-HAZARDOUS FACILITIES DUMPED OR SUNKEN IN THE ARCTIC BASED ON THE USE OF HYDRAULIC CABLE JACKS

The paper is dealing with the results of evaluation of the capabilities of modern technical equipment for lifting dumped and sunken facilities with reference to the lifting of the ‘K-27’ nuclear submarine dumped at 30-m depth in the Stepovoy Gulf of the Kara Sea. A justification is provided that widely operated hydraulic cable jacks and technological pontoons (barges-platforms) may be used as the basic elements for the ‘K-27’ lifting.

The possibility of the ‘K-27’ lifting using accessible and proven methods and technologies may be of interest not only as an option for solving a specific problem, but also as a reference method for handling other bulky nuclear- and radiation-hazardous facilities dumped and sunken in the Arctic.
