**BREAKING - "Brief radiation spike" following explosion in Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia

A short spike in radiation.
Minutes after the wind took the radioactive dust away. Hence the increase being short.
I bet the short spike is now moving across the world as a minor increase for the next 1000000 years.

The Russian propaganda machine is running at red-line right now!

More bogus information

So let's see here...the Russians were "testing" a new weapon, allegedly a missile, and they were doing the 'testing' with a live NUCLEAR WARHEAD onboard????????????????????

Really???????

The people in Russia must be really gullible!!!

I wonder if our friend Flanker will be along soon to tell us that this is a plot by the evil EU?

Tell me about it! The world is still dealing with the aftermath of Fukushima for Christ's sake!

www.dailymail.co.uk... tml a reply to: AnakinWayneII Looks like it is mainstream now. They may put a lid on it as long as everyday citizens don't start having problems. If they are breaking down old reactors we would not expect such reports. This may have been warhead material. Keep in mind, just because implosion nukes are "one point safe" does not mean they will not expel large amounts of radiation. One point safe means you can shoot a missile at it and it will not grow a mushroom but you could have a low order detonation. The explosives surrounding the fissile sphere will not detonate as designed thus producing a perfect implosion, perfect inward pressure on the pit. However, a accidental explosion could make a HUGE mess and spread the material into the surrounding terrain and atmospher with lots of Alfa and Beta particles released. Let's see what comes out.

Sales of iodine has spiked near the area that had the explosion.

Russian pharmacies report rise in sales of iodine near site of mysterious military explosion

www.foxnews.com...

Civilians of two northern Russian cities flocked to pharmacies Friday to purchase large quantities of iodine after a mysterious explosion at a nearby military testing site Thursday.

Though the Russian Gov. remains confident that radiation levels are safe...

Data cited by Greenpeace from Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Situations showed radiation levels rose 20 times above the normal level in the city, about 18 miles from the testing site.

Pharmacies are stating poeple have been calling for the iodine daily and often.

What do you do with the iodine? Put it on your skin in its liquid form or ingest it?

The news was talking about them actually launching something that could contain a nuclear reactor meaning they would not need weapons grade plutonium. I think that is what they were getting at but this is way above my pay grade.

This is the same exact way they played it when Chernobyl went china syndrome.
Lies and then when info leaked they changed the lies and when they were discovered they changed the lies again.
I think they still lie about what happened there.

why are people in the town being asked to leave tomorrow morning.
Supposedly for some testing????
Ok just saw that was cancelled.

MOSCOW — The Russian authorities on Tuesday announced the evacuation of the village nearest to the site of a nuclear accident in northern Russia, suggesting dangers more grave than initially reported. The still-mysterious episode last week killed seven people and released radiation, apparently when a small nuclear reactor malfunctioned during a test of a novel type of missile near a naval weapons testing site. Russian officials have released a flurry of misleading or incomplete statements playing down the severity of the accident, which the military first reported on Thursday as a fire involving a liquid-fueled rocket engine.

Ingest it in tablet form to help absorb the radiation to try and protect the thyroid.

Thank you.

BBC now reporting was a nuclear powered missile being tested and radiation spike was 16x normal:

www.bbc.co.uk...

Radiation levels near the site of a deadly rocket explosion in Russia's far north spiked 16 times above normal, Russia's weather service has said. Rosgidromet measured radiation levels in the port city of Severodvinsk after the blast. The explosion happened off the coast of the city at a military facility in the White Sea last Thursday. Russia's state nuclear agency, Rosatom, said a nuclear-powered engine was being tested.
