Tens of thousands rallying in Minsk are met by a huge police turnout and dozens of arrests. He also noted that the international nuclear watchdog’s mission is to monitor the global nuclear test ban, not missile tests like the one conducted in Nyonoksa.Rosatom’s mention of a “nuclear isotope power source,” led some observers to conclude that the weapon undergoing tests was the “Burevestnik” or “Storm Petrel,” a prospective nuclear-powered cruise missile first mentioned by Putin in 2018 and was codenamed “Skyfall” by NATO.US President Donald Trump backed that theory in a tweet last week, saying America is “learning much” from the Skyfall explosion.The US worked to develop a nuclear-powered missile in the 1960s under Project Pluto, but the idea was discarded as impractical and risky. In fact, the announced peak levels are lower than the cosmic radiation that plane passengers are exposed to on longer flights.The Russian military said the explosion killed two people and injured six, while the state nuclear corporation Rosatom acknowledged later that it also killed five of its engineers and injured three others.Rosatom said the explosion occurred on an offshore platform during tests of a “nuclear isotope power source.”Are you going to address the matter of reported radioactive contamination caused by the reported nuclear incident near Is Russia Hiding Another Chernobyl at Nyonoksa Testing Ground? RUSSIA will totally evacuate the village close to last week’s mysterious “radiation explosion” which killed five atomic scientists and engineers.

Rosatom said the accident occurred during tests on a liquid propellant rocket engine. Picture: Sergei Yakovlev/APRussia has been accused of covering up the extent of radioactive contamination after a mysterious explosion at a military site in the country’s remote northwest.Four Siberian nuclear monitoring stations, which send data from Russia to an international monitoring network, went dark after the August 8 blast, which killed at least seven nuclear engineers and caused a temporary spike in radiation levels.The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organisation (CNTBTO) confirmed the stations were finally back in operation and in the process of “backfilling data”.The explosion, near the village of Nyonoksa on White Sea,Russian officials have dismissed concerns, declaring on Tuesday the country had no obligation to share its data with the CNTBTO — raising fears of a Kremlin cover up on the type of weapon involved and the extent of contamination.Elevated radiation levels — of up to 16 times the average — were detected 40 km away in the city of Severodvinsk in the aftermath of the event, according to The New York Times.President Vladimir Putin said on Monday there was no risk to the public, although officials have yet to disclose how much radiation was released.A sign in the village of Nyonoksa reads: ‘The State Central Navy Testing Range’. Nyonoksa is about 30 miles from Severodvinsk, a city of 183,000, where the radiation spike was reported.
