Abstract For Russia's foreign partners, prioritizing tasks related to spent fuel management first involves identifying urgent needs, potential bottlenecks or gaps in assistance programs, safety and security issues, and possible technical solutions. Partner goals, and partner governments' ability to explain how potential assistance projects meet those goals, are additional critical factors in choosing which projects to undertake in Russia. The goals of Russia's partners vary, but they generally share the desire to avoid environmental accidents and the theft of any radioactive materials, particularly spent fuel. The elimination of bottlenecks and gaps is also critical, since they can not only cause inefficiencies but also lead to security and safety problems. This paper identifies some of the factors needed for foreign partners to set priorities, focusing on the area of handling spent submarine fuel, and reviews which tasks address critical, time-sensitive goals, and which might be less urgent. Finally, it makes some observations regarding how certain tasks are interrelated.
