RWMP – Radioactive Waste Manegment Plant, Svierk

located in Swierk, facility for contditoning of radioactive waste for further storage or transportation to russia as well as intermediate storage for high active waste and spent fuels of MARIA and EVA RR in two seperate wet storage facilities.

List of spent fuel facilities

-	spent fuel storage facility no 19 (water ponds)

-	spent fuel storage facility no 19A (water ponds)

-	technological pool of MARIA RR

Above listed facilities are located at Swierk Centre. Spent fuel storage facilities are operated by the Radioactive Waste Management Plant (RWMP). Nuclear research reactor MARIA is also located at Swierk Centre and is operated by the Institute of Atomic Energy (IEA).

The spent fuel storage facility No 19 consist of 4 cylindrical ponds placed in an underground concrete structure. Two of them are used for storing highly radioactive waste items and one is used for EK-10 spent fuel rods. The facility has been operated since 1958.

The spent fuel storage facility No 19A consist of a half-underground concrete structure with two rectangular ponds. Both ponds are used for spent fuel assemblies (SFA) storage.
