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.
