RT: Reports of nuclear submarine on fire at Russian shipyard
A fire has reportedly broken out at a Russian nuclear submarine during repair work at a shipyard in Severodvinsk. The cause of the fire is believed to be related to welding work on the sub.
According to the the shipyard's spokesperson, the submarine’s nuclear reactor was shut down and its weapons unloaded before the repair started.
“The fire affected an area of some 20 square meters. The insulation between the hulls of the sub is burning,” a source told RIA Novosti news agency.
The fire at the Zvezdochka shipyard, in the Arkhangelsk Region town of Severodvinsk, started as welders were working at the K-266 Oryol, an Oscar II-class nuclear-powered submarine, the source said.
