NEWSWORTHY EVENT

Moscow: A Russian journalist has uncovered
evidence of another Soviet nuclear
catastrophe, which killed 10 sailors and
contaminated an entire town
Background/elaboration
Velena Vazrshavskya is the first journalist
to speak to people who witnessed the
explotion of a nuclear submarine at the
nava bas of shkotovo – 22 near
Vladivostock.
The accident, which occurred 13 months
before the Chaernobyl 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.
Source of Information
A board of investigators was later to
describe it as the worst accident in
the history of the Soviet Navy.
