Town Contaminated
(Main Event)
Moscow – A Russian journalist has uncovered evidence of another Soviet nuclear catastrophe,
whichkilled10 sailors and contaminated an entire town.
(Background Event)
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 radio active 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.
(Sources)
A board of investigators was later to describe it as the worst accident in the history of the Soviet
Navy.
