Radiation levels of sunken Russian sub 100K times higher than normal.

Yep another mini Chernobyl...this time underwater. Seems theres lots of Russki hardware at the bottom of the drink around the globe, some of it leaking radiation like this one.

 

The US used the sea to dump nuclear waste for decades....
How about they start cleaning it up too?

 

We don't nearly have the amount of subs at the bottom as the vatniks do.

 

The innevitable result of nuclear powered vehicles. Another example of why we (humans) should not be trusting ourselves (eachother) to use this technology responsibly. We demonstrably dont.

 

Russian subs are not usually nuclear powered, but who knows this one may be special or they may have been armed. No one but Putin knows and he aint gonna say nothin'.

 

Major accident?....encounter with US sub?....anything is possible with the Russkis.

 

Equipment failure is most likely as it is relatively common. I doubt the U.S would waste a torpedo or risk retaliation.

 

This one is definitely nuclear.

Wiki- "K-278 Komsomolets was the only Project 685 Plavnik (Плавник, meaning "fin", also known by its NATO reporting name of "Mike"-class) nuclear-powered attack submarine of the Soviet Navy. On 4 August 1984 K-278 reached a record submergence depth of 1,020 metres (3,350 feet) in the Norwegian Sea.[1] The boat sank in 1989 and is currently resting on the floor of the Barents Sea, about one mile deep, with its nuclear reactor and two nuclear warheads still on board. The single Project 685 submarine was developed to test technologies for Soviet 4th generation nuclear submarines. Although primarily intended as a developmental model, it was fully combat capable, but sank after a fire broke out in the aft engineering compartment, on its first operational patrol."

 

Maybe Russia is trying to make Godzilla?

 

Attack of the giant herring!

 

US has 32 Broken Arrow incidents. That means lost nukes.
So if you are going to use cheap shots like "Who knows with the Ruskies" You could at least inform you'r self a little. Your bellowed country is just as guilty as they are.

 

"

A total of nine nuclear submarines have sunk as a consequence of either accident or extensive damage. The United States Navy (USN) has lost two boats while five were lost in the Soviet Navy (one of which sank twice), and two from the Russian Navy. Only three were lost with all hands: the two from the United States Navy (129 and 99 lives lost) and one from the Russian Navy (118 lives lost), accounting for the three largest losses of life in a submarine. All sank as a result of accident except for K-27, which was scuttled in the Kara Sea when proper decommissioning was considered too expensive. The Soviet submarine K-129 carried nuclear ballistic missiles when it was lost with all hands, but as it was a diesel-electric submarine, it is not included in the list.

The two USN submarines belonged to Submarine Force Atlantic, in the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. All five of the Soviet/Russian nuclear submarines that remain sunken belonged to the Northern Fleet, while the refloated K-429 was in the Pacific Fleet.

Of the nine sinkings, two were caused by fires, two by explosions of their weapons systems, two by flooding, one by bad weather, and one by scuttling due to a damaged nuclear reactor. Only USS Scorpion's reason for sinking is unknown. Eight of the submarines are underwater wrecks in the Northern Hemisphere, five in the Atlantic Ocean and three in the Arctic Ocean. The ninth submarine, K-429, was raised and returned to active duty after both of her sinkings."

Since 1950, there have been 32 nuclear weapon accidents, known as "Broken Arrows." A Broken Arrow is defined as an unexpected event involving nuclear weapons that result in the accidental launching, firing, detonating, theft or loss of the weapon. To date, six nuclear weapons have been lost and never recovered

 

We almost blew up Arkansas in 1980 with an ICBM maintenance incident. A 9 lb socket was dropped down the silo and damaged a rocket fuel tank. A chain reaction ended up with an explosion. The nuclear warhead was blown clear of the silo and all sources of power were disconnected from it. I have a science teacher friend who was there. He wasn't mentioned in the story.

That would be one of the 32.

 

We can top that. We had a Plutonium core roll over the Autobahn in the 80th Its transporter crashed and it felt off. Luckily the shielding did hold.

 

At least you did not contaminate a big ***** of Europe and not tell anyone until they walked through it.
