Indeed Bellona did as did fas but they have since stopped doing anything meaningful, then again most of the older subs and ships have since been cut up and now its only the relatively recent boats that have left service that are left to be cut up.
To be honest you have to applaud to Russians in one sense, yes this has largely been done with aid from other countries but to cut up and safely store over 120+ nuclear vessels in 15 years with very few incidents is no mean feat.
Take a look at the UK for instance we seem to be relatively far behind in our works the simple fact is were only now getting around to scrapping ours, and some of them have been in storage longer than they were in service.
