Nuclear-powered icebreaker Sibir ' to scrap, will make the transition to the shipyard Nerpa (the FSA, a branch of JSC Center of ship repair Zvezdochka, Snezhnogorsk, Murmansk region) for disposal.
The first Deputy Director and chief engineer of the FSUE Atomflot, Mustafa Kashka told reporters that the icebreaker is ready for disposal. According to the contract signed with the Nerpa shipyard, in the course of 2017, the work will be carried on the dismantling of the reactor plant.
It is fundamentally important: the disposal was substantially modified, originally it was about disposal of the ship itself as a whole, the cost of it exceeded 1.7 billion rubles, said the statement. According to him, at the initiative of employees Atomflot has been significantly changed the structure of work, the modified project, the cost of work reduced significantly by almost 700 million roubles, it is clear that almost a billion is savings
Following excavation of the reactor facility Atomflot will hold tender procedures for the implementation of icebreaker for scrap (weight of ice breaker is about 20 thousand tons). Evaluation of Clover, the company's revenue in this case may be of the order of 100-150 million rubles. We hope that this will be the groundwork for the next disposal of the vessel, he added.
At Atomflot rely on the example of Siberia, show that the utilization of icebreakers requires such an amount of money comparable to the earnings of an icebreaker for 3-4-5 months, and takes a short time.
After 2020 utilizes the Atomflot nuclear icebreakers Arktika and Rossiya, which operated between 1975 and 1985, respectively. Currently, these icebreakers are derived in the cold sucks.
Porridge is reminded that the name Siberia has inherited the first serial nuclear-powered icebreaker LK-60, laid in may 2015 at OOO Baltiysky Zavod-shipbuilding in St. Petersburg.
As reported, the Nerpa shipyard is recognized as the winner of the auction for the right of disposal of the nuclear icebreaker Sibir. Initial (maximum) contract price was $ 835 million 66 thousand rubles, the seal proposed for the execution of the contract 785 million.
According to the competitive documentation, the winner of the auction in the period until 30 November 2017 will perform the work of unloading a steam generating plant of nuclear icebreaker Sibir. After the installation will be placed in the item long-term storage facility for reactor compartments in Sayda-Guba.
Siberia refers to the icebreakers of the second generation. It was built at the Baltic shipyard, was put into operation on 28 December 1978. Submarine length is 148 meters, width - 30 meters, 23 thousand deadweight tons. The propulsive capacity of 54 MW.
Nuclear-powered icebreaker Sibir returned from his last flight in 1992, since 1993 the ship was mothballed. In 1996 underwent surgery for the removal of the nuclear fuel. The operating time of the reactor plant was about 100 thousand hours and was not renewed. In December 2014, Rosatom made a decision on the withdrawal of Siberia from service.
Now at the Baltic shipyard under the contract with Rosatom head built nuclear-powered icebreaker Arktika of the project 22220. The icebreaker was laid in November 2013, with a due date to December 2017. Baltiysky Zavod will build three nuclear-powered icebreaker of the project 22220. Serial icebreaker Sibir was founded on may 26, 2015, in the autumn of this year planned to lay second — Ural.
