During the repatriation of spent fuel from the Polish research reactors in 2009-2010, for the first time in the history of the RRFR programme, specialists encountered the need to use not one, but two different types of transport casks. In this connection, major upgrades were implemented to the process equipment used to remove the spent fuel assemblies from the at-reactor storage facilities. Apart from that, during the preparations for export of spent fuel from Poland, a long-time dream of Russian seamen was realised at last: Russia finally came to possess a class INF-2 ship of her own.
