Undetermined nuclear accident in Russia, September 2017

and voila, it comes from Russia, as expected.

Russia admits to being the source of radioactive pollution

By AFP the 20.11.2017

The Russian meteorological agency Rosguidromet acknowledged Monday that an "extremely high" concentration of ruthenium-106 had been detected in late September in several regions of Russia, confirming reports from several European radioactivity monitoring networks.

"The radioisotope Ru-106 was detected by the observation stations of Arguaïach and Novogorny" between September 25 and October 1, said Rosguidromet in a press release.

According to the same source, the highest rate was recorded in the station of Arguaiach, a village near Chelyabinsk, in the southern Urals, where "an extremely high concentration" of ruthenium-106 "exceeding 986 times "the concentrations recorded the previous month were detected.

Rosguidromet does not give any indication of the potential source of the pollution, but Arguaïach is located 30 kilometers from the Maïak nuclear complex, hit by one of the worst nuclear accidents in history in 1957.

Maïak is now a reprocessing site for spent nuclear fuel.

The Russian agency specifies that ruthenium-106 was then detected in Tatarstan and then in southern Russia, before it was fixed from September 29 "in all European countries, from Italy and to northern Europe ".

At the end of September, several European networks monitoring atmospheric radioactivity had detected ruthenium-106 in the atmosphere.

Since the Kychtym disaster in 1957, the Mayak nuclear complex should have been closed and the local population cared for and at least distant, but the law of silence still prevails in Russia. https://dailygeekshow.com/maiak-catastrophe-nucleaire/

This new accident, which remains discreet, highlights a risk concerning nuclear power that is little talked about: this global and global anarchy of nuclear players, which consists of them doing what they want in their corner without alerting anyone in case of nuclear accident or incident.

As much for globalization (economic and commercial) we strive to make agreements, rules and standards, as much for nuclear power it is each for himself and too bad for the others!

When will nuclear globalization begin?

The origin of this "incident" confirmed: Mayak's Russian nuclear plant

During 2017, several measurement stations spread across the world detected a radioactive cloud made of ruthenium-106 over Europe. If so far, hypotheses on the Russian origin of this peak in radioactivity had been formulated, there was no evidence to confirm them. This is now done with a new international study pointing to the Russian nuclear complex in Mayak.

The peak of radioactivity - in the form of an extremely high concentration in the air of the radioactive isotope ruthenium-106 - was detected by scientists in October 2017, but the source of this radiation (almost 1000 times higher than the rates had never been definitively confirmed.

At the time, many speculated that the nuclear facilities in Russia were responsible for what was perceived to be an accidental release of Ruthenium-106, despite denials at the time by Russian authorities.

But new research, published in the PNAS journal, aims to confirm and detail the hypothesis of Russian origin, according to an international team of nearly 70 scientists led by Olivier Masson, researcher in radionuclides, at the Institute for Radiation Protection and nuclear safety (IRSN) in France.

always quibble over details!

- What is that ?
- That? A slow derivative of nitroglycerin ... Five six drops in the soup and the patient explodes! Poum! Inside !
- Listen to Boris, old man, stop playing with your little products, otherwise one day you will make us freak out! Huh ...?
- Oooh ... if you prefer DIY ...!

When one has just been resolved, the next arrives, these Russians are strong!



The explosion is impressive but from what I understood it was a nuclear propulsion system that exploded and not a bomb ... Check it out ...

What is the source of this video?

[moinsdewatt]

Well, the video presented is not the presumed one of the nuclear explosion.
It was the explosion of an ammunition depot that occurred a few days before.

Explosion videos in Russia: when the media and internet users get tangled up.

Many videos of an explosion that occurred in Russia are relayed on social networks in recent days. Many internet users but also major media claim that they correspond to the nuclear accident that occurred on Thursday August 8, near Nyonoksa, in the Far North. It is actually one of the explosions of an ammunition depot in Siberia, in which a fire started on August 5. Explanations.
