Abstract
The basic problems in decommissioning industrial uranium-graphite reactors are analyzed, taking account of experience in decommissioning the I-I and E I-2 reactors at the Siberian Chemical Combine. On the basis of the analysis , decommissioning with delayed dismantling of the reactor structures is rec ommended.
