Abstract
The technology of filling decommissioned submarines with polystyrene to maintain the buoyancy of submarine hulls is discussed. An experimental transportable polystyrene plant (ETPP) used for the production and insertion of polystyrene is developed and applied to a limited number of intact submarines to ensure their ability to remain afloat. The main advantages of this polystyrene system are modular construction permitting to accumulate its power and output and high mobility permitting to deploy and to start work with different objects located in different regions. The technology reduces the expenses for nuclear submarine preparing to transportation to the places of industrial decommission and avoids great costs at probable submarine sinking.
