Newsworthy events:
Moscow – A Russian journalist has uncovered evidence
of
another Soviet nuclear catastrophe, which killed 10 sailors and
contaminated an
entire town.
Background Events:
Yelena Vazrshavskya is the first journalist to speak
to
people who witnessed the explosion of a nuclear submarine at the naval
base of
shkotovo – 22 near Vladivostock.
The accident, which occurred 13 months before the Chernobyl disaster, spread radioactive fall-out over the base and nearby town, but was covered up by officials of the Soviet Union. Residents were told the explosion in the reactor of the Victor-class submarine during a refit had been a ‘thermal’ and not a nuclear explosion. And those involved in the clean up operation to remove more than 600 tones of contaminated material were sworn to secrecy.
