The global role of the Arctic Region
1)SUSTAINABLY INCREASING ECONOMIC ROLE OF THE ARCTIC AS THE RICHEST SOURCE OF THE RAW MATERIALS
2)THE GROWING IMPORTANCE OF THE ARCTIC REGION IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORTCOMMUNICATIONS
3)THE UNIQUE ROLE OF THE ARCTIC BASIN IN THE FORMATION OF GLOBAL CLIMATIC AND HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES IN THE OCEANS AND ON THE PLANET IN GENERAL

TODAY only about 30 of them have the serious hazard to the environment:
• 3 nuclear submarines• 3 objects with SNF• 1 barge with the nuclear
reactor• 3 reactor compartment
