Its ten oclock in the morning and youre listening to Headline News in 007 Archid FM. Im Mike Tjokro. The first newsworthy event comes from Moscow. A Russians journalist has uncovered evidence of another Soviet nuclear catastrophe, which killed ten sailors and contaminated an entire town. Yelena Vazrshavskya is the first journalist to speak to people who witnessed the explosion of a nuclear submarine at the naval base of Shkotovo 22, near Vladivostock. The accident, which occurred 13 months before the Chernobyl disaster, spread radioactive fallout. The base and nearby town, were covered up by officials of the Soviet Union. Residents were told that the explosion was in the reactor of the Victor submarine. It was said to be a thermal and not nuclear explosion. Those involved in the clean up operation to remove more than 600 tons of contaminated material were sworn to secrecy. A board of investigators were later to describe it as the worst accident in the history of the Soviet Navy. OK listeners, thats the first news for today. I am coming back soon with some other important news. So, stay tuned to 007 FM Archid Radio Station.
