Nuclearfree Estonia

Today we had a trip to nuclear reactor of Paldiski.

It was closed.

Music: Funeral Pyre - Berlin

LOCATION: Pakri Peninsula, 4km from Paldiski, approximately 47km west of Tallinn.

REACTORS: Two (dismantled)

BACKGROUND:
Historically, the Paldiski Peninsula housed three military units of the former Soviet Union: No. 10717 of the Navy, No. 03115 of the Missile Forces, No. 2198 of the Coast Guard. On 30 September 1995, control over the facility was successfully transferred from Russian to Estonian officials.

UNITS:
Unit 1: initial criticality 4/10/68, last criticality 12/28/89
Unit 2: initial criticality 2/10/83, last criticality 12/28/89

TYPE: Pressurized-water submarine training reactors

POWER: Unit 1: 70 MWe Unit 2: 90 MWe

FUEL: Uranium enriched to 20%. Removed from Unit 1 in 9/94; removed from Unit 2 in 8/94.

STATUS:
Paldiski was the site of a Soviet (subsequently Russian) naval base from 1968 to August 1994. The former base covers an area of 650 hectares. As of 9/26/95, both reactors at Paldiski had been dismantled. The fuel from Units 1 and 2 has been removed and transported to Russia. Paldiski is now under Estonian control: on 9/26/95, Russian Rear Admiral Alexander Olkhovikov signed a document that handed over control of the former Soviet submarine base.

SPENT FUEL AND RADIOACTIVE WASTE:
According to the Estonian Environmental Ministry the waste repository at Paldiski does not meet international standards. Approximately 800,000 liters of radioactive waste water was produced while the facility's training reactors were in operation. According to the Estonian representative at the 44th IAEA General Conference, as of September 2000, the Estonian government had conditioned all solid radioactive waste left at Paldiski, and was in the process of conditioning liquid wastes, a job expected to take two more years.

A few kilometers away from that ex-nuclear site...
