There's also the case of the mysterious nuclear submarine in July where info was trickled out very slowly.A weapon utilizing nuclear technology, yes? I didn't know about the second incident, so I apologize if my gross generalization offended anyone.
And just to understand how deadly the fire was, the Losharik has a crew of between 25 to 30 sailors. 14 dead are between half to two-thirds of the crew.There's also the case of the mysterious nuclear submarine in July where info was trickled out very slowly.
"Right now?"So wait, if this accident is related to nuclear propulsion tech for ICBMs, what happens to the areas ostensibly hit by these missiles? Is russia seriously creating dirty bombs right now?
No doubt!So after watching Chernobyl, are we to assume this is probably much worse than Russia is letting on?
Less ICBM and more nuclear powered cruise missile, even if the end effect is similar-ish.So wait, if this accident is related to nuclear propulsion tech for ICBMs, what happens to the areas ostensibly hit by these missiles? Is russia seriously creating dirty bombs right now?
It's much easier to leak information today than in 1986.So after watching Chernobyl, are we to assume this is probably much worse than Russia is letting on?
Holy shit...after watching that Rachel Maddow bit....this is like Chernobyl 2.0...
Probably not this time around.So after watching Chernobyl, are we to assume this is probably much worse than Russia is letting on?
Rachel Maddow: Nuclear Expert lol.Holy shit...after watching that Rachel Maddow bit....this is like Chernobyl 2.0...
OSLO (Reuters) - Norway's nuclear safety authority is analyzing tiny amounts of radioactive iodine detected in the air in northern Norway in the days after a deadly explosion during a rocket engine test over the border in Russia.
Russia's state nuclear agency, Rosatom, said on Saturday that five people killed in the blast were its staff members, and the accident involved "isotope power sources", giving no further details.
Norway's radiation and nuclear safety authority DSA said it had detected the radioactive iodine at its air filter station in Svanhovd, which is by the Russian border. A river separates the two countries.The samples were collected in the period Aug. 9-12, while the accident in the Arkhangelsk region of northern Russia occurred on Aug. 8, it said.
It causes thyrotoxicosis which is one of the more common things you can get from nuclear fallout (more specifically iodine-131 gets stored in the thyroid gland and fucks your shit up). Taking potassium iodide can stop this by preventing the buildup.How bad is radioactive iodine? I remember they took iodine pills in Chernobyl but that's it.
Nothing since last Thursday, but extra news keeps trickling out about that.
It's basically guaranteed to involve a weapon. The radiation spike coincided with an explosion at a military base and the Russians even admitted it involved a weapon. A nuclear propelled cruise missile is probably the cause.So its,
1. Nuclear Sub
2. Possible Nuclear Reactor that this thread is about.
3. Their Nuclear reaactor Missle..
right?

The first explosion was an ammo explosion. There's only been one radiation related incident.Thats what im asking though. Is it two separate nuclear explosions or issues.
1 the powerplant of skyfall or whatever..
And 2.. There eas a nuclear plant at the base. That first explosion at the base looked like a nuclear blast.
Plus the nuclear sub "Incident" that happened a month before.The first explosion was an ammo explosion. There's only been one radiation related incident.
What was that?

As far as we know. At the funeral a high-ranking navy officer did proclaim that the crew "prevented a planetary catastrophe" so make of that what you will.There wasn't radiation involved in that, though, from what I understand. It was a fire on a nuclear submarine.

To be fair this "proclamation" could just be some passive propaganda as well.As far as we know. At the funeral a high-ranking navy officer did proclaim that the crew "prevented a planetary catastrophe" so make of that what you will.
Yup, that's pretty crazy. In Chernobyl 31 people died of acute radiation sickness over 3 months.Must have been an insane dose of radiation if it killed them in 24 hours, no?
Must have been an insane dose of radiation if it killed them in 24 hours, no?
Not great, not terribleMust have been an insane dose of radiation if it killed them in 24 hours, no?
The visual of the fire fighter as he was dying in Chernobyl was horrifying. Honestly one of the most unsettling images I've seen in a long time.Also dying from radiation seems like a really shitty way to go.
There was a guy who was kept alive (possibly against his will) for 83 days after the 1999 Tokaimura nuclear accident in Japan.Also dying from radiation seems like a really shitty way to go.

So that's Putin's true power, time travel.
Russian medics who treated radiation victims after a military explosion in the Arctic had no protection and now fear they were irradiated themselves.
The medics were at the civilian Arkhangelsk regional hospital, which treated three of the injured, while three other casualties were taken to an Arkhangelsk hospital called Semashko, which is equipped for radiation emergencies.
The Arkhangelsk medics said it was clear that the three brought to their regional hospital were very sick. Doctors examined them in the emergency room, then sent them to an operating theatre.
But the emergency room continued to admit other patients for about an hour, the medics said, until the doctors realised that the three "had received a very high radiation dose". The hospital handles pregnancy complications and other difficult medical conditions.
"The radiation picture was developing by the hour. Blood tests were being done, and every hour you could see that this or that cell count was plunging. That signified a very high radiation dose," they said.
A military team later carried out decontamination work in the Arkhangelsk hospital.
The medics said the casualties' clothing was removed, along with stretchers and a "highly radioactive bath".
"Our cleaners should have been advised, they're just simple country folk, they were just picking up sacks and bundles and carrying them out," said one.
That's not a photo of himI remember seeing a photo of him while reading about the accident, it was horrible, he was literally melting, just a lump of red. I would not recommend looking for it, it was incredibly dire.
Whatever it is, I'm super happy never to see it again.
Officials in a northern Russian city have confirmed one of the doctors who treated victims of an apparent explosion during a rocket test was found to have a radioactive isotope in his body.
The local health ministry blamed the trace amounts of radioactive material on bad seafood after the doctor treated patients from an area where a radiation spike was recorded.
"Cesium-137 … has the feature of accumulating in fish, mushrooms, lichens, algae," the statement posted on the local government's website read.

Sure vlad.
