Should add from the same source that Norway has observed a mild bump in iodine-131 but cannot tie it definitively to the incident. And yes, that does sound quite a bit more like a nuclear reactor. ...iodine is not an "inert gas" by any measure, and is a beta emitter.

Yes, because He is omnipotent and takes turns sleeping with Dmitri. Each element of chain of command has autonomous will and certain standing orders regardless interaction with the outside world. It gets even greyer when we consider various feudal entities (the government of Severodvinsk) and state companies (Rosatom).

Like the heater in this thing: @lajoswinkler, who is this “they”? It is my understanding that the Ministry of Defence has not yet contradicted its own statements as to the lack of release of radioactivity; Severodvinsk authorities have deleted all statements as to the radiation levels, and have been silent ever since; the claims about RTGs come from Rosatom; and the radiation levels come from the weather guys at RosHydroMet.

The hole design was used in a TOW-sized antitank missile in 2002. There had been a separate project with a thrust-vectoring ejection seat motor.

Density, and a boost in energy as well. Also, an engine used in the R-29 upgrade program is found in Makeyev’s internal museum. It’s still caked in the hydrazine-aluminum slurry. Which a full generation of visitors has been poking with unprotected fingers

@Cheif Operations Director, I think you’re looking for augmented thrusters. The transfer of additional energy is through mundane resistojet or arcjet systems, and they also replace the usual catalyst bed in a hydrazine thruster.

Hey, it’s just an early model. We promise to triple our efforts. It’s a work-in-progress.

Vadim Lukashevich of Buran.ru comes in from the left field. As per his idea, Burevestnik uses an RTG-powered electric propeller. https://www.facebook.com/vadim.lukashevich.7/posts/1479600478846646

Roscosmos 2018 annual report https://www.roscosmos.ru/media/img/2019/august/godovoi.otcet.goskorporazii.roskosmos.2018.g..pdf So, apparently the megawatt-class nuclear-electric tug has completed groundside component testing. If not for the publication of the rest of the report, I’d have found the news fascinating in light of recent events.

So long as I’m right and US intelligence is wrong ) As I’ve said, the fuel wouldn’t just clot. NTO is just plain rated not freeze-proof. That, and you need something powering the ULF radio receiver.

http://www.meteorf.ru/product/infomaterials/91/19630/?sphrase_id=241814 RosHydroMet summary of extreme environmental pollution and radiation incidents for August 2-9 Severodvinsk peaked at 1.47 microsieverts per hour at 12:00 and returned to normal by 14:30.

Got loaded into MS-14 on the 11th.

Guys from the well-respected Bellona environmental nuclear safety group are trying to restore some sanity to the hysteria and point out that a NBC suit that the victims were wearing during transport doesn’t just protect against N, and that UDMH-NTO is nasty excrements.

Those barrels are thicc. No inner anti-drone belt, tho?

Bruh...

You're a hero. I never thought it would be possible to salvage this thread. They state that the injuries are primarily fractures - implying that it's not radiation poisoning. The radiation levels doubled for an hour and have since subsided. Most of the speech is sweet nothings (e.g. monument in Sarov to open next year). One guy goes on a tangent to explain RTG use, and mentions the US Kilopower program. No, literally no information on subject matter. Channel 16 is based in Sarov/Arzamas-16, what did we expect?

Spoiler: stock footage and speculation.

They have. The last such incident was in 2004 in the village of Valentin. The RIT-90 isotope slug was thrown out, while all thermocouples and shielding were scavenged. But was there a flash, as opposed to a "short-term increase"? Jokes aside, alcohol does help resist extreme radiation doses. It won't prevent cancer, but it will help reduce the probability of you dropping dead on the spot. So, not RadAway, but Rad-X. However, B-190 works better.

Geological survey.

That’s what the diving planes are for; they’re basically aircraft canards and tail empennage. However, you’d still have to actively trim the ballast to maintain neutral buoyancy at different depths. The Deepflight guys went a bit further: However, it looks like these were naught but expensive toys. Oh, you asked for it...

There’s does seem to be a lot of confusion among the laymen. In the public mind, Burevestnik and the unpowered Avangard have completely merged. And then you have exaggerated claims of the velocity of the Poseidon torpedo... As explained before, iodine-131 is a major gaseous fusion product. Even Three Mile Island AFAIK blew off some of it. That’s why all Soviet meds with iodine mentioned its radioprotective qualities; the guys from Oak Ridge disagree. The preferred form, one that doesn’t create the risk of poisoning, are potassium iodide tablets. Instead, back in 2004, when Balakovskaya NEP sprung a leak in the outer cooling loop, about 30 people poisoned themselves in fright. Meanwhile, if I’m right and we’re looking at a blown strontium titanite RTG, what’s required is Ferrocyne, postassium-iron hexocyanoferrate. It’s so capable it was used to resume milk production in Chernobyl-contaminated areas, they put it right into cattle fodder.

Notice To Airmen. Things to look out for when militaries conduct otherwise-secret launches.

It’s already happened. There’s been a fire at an ammo disposal ground in Achinsk: Naturally, some people couldn’t tell the difference.
