... In particular, a 2006 analysis shows a large volume of deferred problems in need of systematic and comprehensive efforts. Reactor units have been decommissioned at 5 nuclear power reactor sites, 13 industrial uranium-graphite reactor sites, 17 research reactor sites, and sites of various critical fuel assemblies and other types of equipment.

... However, the risks caused by the problems that accumulated during the arms race could potentially entail significant damages. This primarily concerns problems of the industrial reservoirs operated by Mayak, including problems of the Techa Cascade reservoirs.

... It is necessary to mention the efforts of the RAS Institute of Geology of Ore Deposits, Petrography, Mineralogy, and Geochemistry at Lake Karachai and the Techa Cascade and in assessing the ecology surrounding uranium deposits. Also of importance has been the work of the RAS Nuclear Safety Institute on the comprehensive dismantlement of nuclear submarines, resolution of Mayak problems, and general coordination of research efforts aimed at ensuring nuclear and radiation security.
