RUSSIAN ROULETTE: NUCLEAR POWER REACTORS IN EASTERN EUROPE and the FORMER SOVIET UNION I. Introduction and Executive Summary The question of what to do with the dozens of aging, dangerous and understaffed nuclear power reactors in Eastern Europe and the republics of the former Soviet Union constitutes a major public policy dilemma. These extraordinarily risky facilities urgently need to be closed down. They pose Imminent threats to public health and the environment, both locally and globally. (1) This Report has been prepared to help address this dilemma. It has been written by Friends of the Earth-International (FOEI) for use by the G-7 countries, the countries in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, as well as by entities such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Bank for European Reconstruction and Development, and the International Atomic Energy Agency. All of these governments and organizations are considering the issues, but thus far have not proposed to take or to fund the urgent actions necessary to responsibly protect the public. Their proposed solutions involve, for the most part, short-term investments in training and longer- term investments in the reactors themselves, possibly including building containment shells around some reactors. Although it is well known that many of the reactors simply pose too large a danger to allow them to continue operating, there are no action plans on the table being considered by Western Governments and their counterparts in the Eastern countries. This is a short-sighted approach, which will neither protect the public nor be cost- effective. Because the Governments and their advisors at the IAEA, EBRD, World Bank and other agencies have not developed action plans that are commensurate with the risks to the public, Friends of the Earth has compiled this Report. (1) The map at the end of this Report shows the location of each reactor in the region by type and number.
