Abstract
Beginning from 1989 the annual scientific research and underwater technical operations were conducted with the MIR-1 and MIR-2 submersibles on the Komsomolets nuclear powered submarine wreck. A wide range of oceanological research from r/v Akademik Mstislav Keldysh is performed every year. During five expeditions much data is accumulated. The most important results of the above mentioned research are introduced in the present paper. In the second part of the paper the procedures and results of underwater technical works on the Komsomolets wreck with the MIRs are presented. Mainly these are the operations with the purposes to decrease the potential leakage of the radiation from the nuclear reactor and nuclear weapons.
