Default A very interesting documentary on decommissioning Russian subs

This is a documentary done in 2010 about the scrapping of Russian nuclear submarines

Much has actually been done between 2003 and today to get rid of the former Soviet fleet and the boats that once littered the ports of northern Russia are today as of 2022 mostly gone.

Funding for a lot of the early scrapping was supplied by the USA Norway Japan UK and the European Union
However the last funding grant I heard of was in 2014 (maybe wrong)
Since then Russia has scrapped submarines on its own dime

The documentary is 45mins long and you get to see some of the nerpa shipyard and also saidya bay reactor storage facility which at the time housed only 33 reactors (2010) today holds 120+
