Большая Лопаткина : Bolshaya Lopatka ('Big Shoulder') Naval Base
Most of the operational nuclear submarines are based out of the Bolshaya Lopatka facility. It was built in the 1960s as a bigger, more modern facility than Malaya Lopatka. The Bolshaya Lopatka complex consists of eight piers, a floating maintenance dock, and two storage facilities. The smaller facility temporarily stores both liquid and solid radioactive waste generated from monitoring the submarine reactors' cooling system. The waste is then transferred to the Andreyeva Bay facility.
