Situation Update No. 2
On 2011-05-05 at 12:35:05 [UTC]

Event: Nuclear Event
Location: Russia [Asia] Siberia Taimyr Nucelar Icebreaker (Kara Sea)

Situation:

Russia launched an urgent rescue mission Thursday after one its atom-powered icebreakers developed a nuclear leak in the frozen seas of the Arctic and was forced to abandon its mission. The Rosatomflot nuclear fleet said in a statement that "insignificant increase in activity" had been reported on board its Taimyr icebreaker. But the incident was serious enough to force the mammoth vessel to abandon its mission and try to track its way back to port in the northwestern city of Murmansk. "What we are most concerned about right now is movement along the waterways," the RIA Novosti news agency quoted top Rosatomflot official Andrei Smirnov as saying. The fleet official said another icebreaker was being dispatched to the region to help the vessel's journey back to port. The incident was reported in the Kara Sea -- a part of the Arctic Ocean that rests about 2,000 kilometers east of Norway's border. Officials said the increased levels of radiation were initially reported in and the air ventilation system surrounding the nuclear reactor core.

They added that radiation levels remained normal outside the outer protecting covering. But other details -- including how many people were on board the ship -- remained unclear and one part of the Russian statement suggested that officials were looking into the possibility of the situation becoming more serious. "If the situation deteriorates, the reactor system will be shut down and the cooling process will begin," Rosatomflot said. Rosatomflot stressed that the seriousness of the event at the moment could be registered as a zero on the seven-point International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale -- a level officially defined as "bearing no safety significance." The Arctic sea accident revived memories of the Kursk nuclear submarine disaster that claimed the lives of 118 Rusisan sailors in August 2000. Russian officials were painfully slow to acknowledge the scale of that disaster and state television only began devoting full attention to it nearly 48 hours after the Kursk blasts went off. No information about the nuclear leak had appeared on Russian state television within three hours of the initial report.

holy crap, thanks for the heads up! - gosh daily "nuclear" report - never thought we would see the day!

[ChristiannaGarrett1]

@rachaelkavanagh1 This is an old report, but similar situation. Was making it's way to Brazil or somewhere like that and it just dissappeared. Never heard of it again. Was nuclear powered. Yep, at one point I was doing daily nuclear updates;) till I realised they were playing the 'Illuminati nuclear card. That's when I stopped reporting on Fuk-u-Shima et al.;)

[rachaelkavanagh1]

@ChristiannaGarrett1 Gosh i never check the dates? Which is the next card Chris? Funny isn't it, when you find out about that side of things and realise how much of this is man made you kinda lose your respect for the story (not the people).

[ChristiannaGarrett1]

@rachaelkavanagh1 I'll check tomorrow and let you know what I think. I don't think there is an order but you can kinda guess. Really feel rough today. Better not be engineered flu! :( I need to get to bed now :) I will send lots of good vibes your way..Kill the earthquakes!!

Captain Tainmyr was on the cover of Popular Mechanic magazineThey made a report about the ship that saves the whales trapped on the arctic. anybody remember that? it became very famous, I think the russian want to show off their Icebreaker capabilities to the western.

@ChristiannaGarrett1

am surprised that you have Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji's knowledge

This technology is just not there yet. I love it when these A-Hole scientist say "Its a totally safe technology.." Yeah, its totally safe just so long as NOTHING GOES WRONG. Put three roof mills on every house and a few solar panels and you can easily produce up to 4.8kw and take most people completely off the grid. As for these boats that "require" nuke power, this is just asinine.

@OnenessNow It's easy to read and think about.....but in reality.....are the majority of us willing and BRAVE enough to?

@OnenessNow

My gut feeling is it may be a tad too late.
