After the Kursk was salvaged what did the Russians do with the pieces that were raised?

Scrabbed, the reactor waste they dumbed in some lake.

The submarine was dismantled and scrapped, the two reactors defuelled, the fuel sent to Mayak.
The empty reactor sections were towed away to a storage area in Saida bay

Saida bay, the things at the piers are reactor compartments of decomissioned SSNs.
On the peninsula, you have the new storage facility under construction, where a few reactor compartments are allready stored on land.
