When the planned nine submarines are cut up during the year, the total number of decommissioned Russian nuclear powered submarines will reach 186, reports Izvestia with reference to Russia's state nuclear body Rosatom. Last year, 15 nuclear powered submarines were decommissioned, and for next year it is planned to utilise another 10 submarines. Most of the nuclear powered submarines are decommissioned at the naval yard Zvezdotchka in Severodvinsk, but also Nerpa on the Kola Peninsula and other naval yards in Russia's Pacific region are scrapping older submarines.
