  For major recent developments, see the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Developments file.

This section of the NIS Nuclear Profiles Database contains information on developments in radioactive waste collection and processing. Information on radioactive waste storage can also be found under facility entries.  See nuclear power reactors, research facilities with reactors, and the naval nuclear reactors section.  There are several major facilities in Russia that process spent fuel and radioactive waste.  The Mayak Production Association reprocesses spent fuel from power reactors in order to recover plutonium. It also reprocesses smaller amounts of fast-breeder and naval reactor fuel.  For information on other facilities with spent fuel reprocessing and radioactive waste storage facilities, see the Siberian Chemical Combine and the Mining and Chemical Combine.  The Radon Special Combines store radioactive waste from non-nuclear facilities.  For information on Rosatom's spent fuel import plans, see the Spent Fuel Import Project Overview.  For information on the proposed construction of a  major new radioactive waste storage facility, see Novaya Zemlya.
