Abstract
The analysis of materials of expert inspection of the welded tank RVS-200 for diesel fuel at the Ukrainian Antarctic Station «Akademik Vernadsky», made by the SE «Experimental Design and Technological Bureau of the E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute of the NASU», is given. It was shown that according to the region of its location, the tank of only 200 m³ capacity is transferred to the highest criticality class CC3 with the fixed service life of not less than 40 years. Under these conditions the requirements to ecological purity of the object and the environment, at a complete isolation and limited capabilities of repair, predetermine the need in extraordinary constructive solutions on providing the maintenance-free service life. The specific technical solutions of the considered problem are given. 7 Ref., 5 Figures.
 
Keywords: welded tank, highest criticality class CC3, corrosion damages, austenitic stainless steel, corrosion protection
