Two apparently unrelated explosions in Russia over the past few days; the first was apparently a small nuclear reactor detonation from experiments to create a nuclear-powered cruise missile (thus extending its range worldwide), and the second 4000km away was an arms dump burning from a fire reportedly started by a lightning strike.

Five elite nuclear scientists were killed in the first explosion.



I'm not sure there are actually videos of the first explosion. The FBN report above seems to use footage from the arms depot explosion.

Al Jazeera, for whatever it's worth. ;)

Could be worse...lucky it wasn't an explosion at a nuclear reactor. According to Russian sources, that could NEVER happen.  :coolsmiley:

This guy has been following the tech story on the nuke-powered cruise missile for a while; does a pretty good job summarizing things in an informal way.

Surprised at the lack of Soviet Russia jokes.

Of course not. Russian nuclear plants only explode in Ukraine
