Landysh (Russian: Ландыш, lit. 'Lily of the Valley'; known as Suzuran in Japan[1]) is a floating facility for processing contaminated water produced when decommissioning nuclear submarines. It was built in Russia with funds from Japan as part of an agreement on nuclear arms disposal, but has not left the wharf. Japan requested that Russia send Landysh to help in the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.[2][3]
