In the first hours after the department of the department, responsible for the safety of citizens - from the Ministry of Defense to meteorologists - were finished with fragments of phrases, contradicted to themselves and each other, and refuted their own messages. In a word, they did everything that government agencies do during the emergency. Everything that is best promotes panic.
Panic was observed in Severodvinsk, from which to Nenox 30 km - almost all of iodine was bought up in pharmacies. Moreover, both iodine -containing drugs, which, in fact, are indicated for radioactive irradiation, as well as a regular solution, which is used, to put it mildly, dangerous. More careful ones called doctors and asked: "Where to smear iodine from radiation." Conspirologists wrote in the networks that the accident in the hands of algae processors - they say, the demand for products will increase. Technically savvy cleared dosimeters that showed a completely acceptable level of radiation - up to 12 micro Borentgen per hour.
The Ministry of Defense, meanwhile, continued to assure that there were no emissions during the explosion, which was already strange: at least a poisonous hephyl had to get into the environment with the destruction of a rocket engine -
Words from the release of the military “liquid reactive engine” clearly indicated that the emergency occurred when testing the rocket.
Yes, and Nenox herself, where you can get only on the special transactions issued by the FSB, is a landfill on which it is the ballistic, winged and anti -aircraft missiles of marine base that are experiencing. All missiles in service with the domestic Navy were tested there.

The official name of the landfill is the “45th state of Lenin’s Order of the Navy Marine Testing Selving School”. The code designation is “zero -girl”. Information from this landfill is almost not seeping. And the incident that happened on August 8, perhaps, would have remained under the heading “secret” if radioactivity sensors had not worked in Severodvinsk. ASKRO - an automated system for monitoring the radiation and meteorological situation - worked at 11.50 and showed an increase in background values of up to two microseverts per hour. Remember this figure. By 14 o’clock, according to the head of the civil defense department of Severodvinsk Valentin Magomedov, the level of radioactivity decreased to 0.11 microsiverts per hour at the maximum permissible mark of 0.6.
The city hall on a blue eye published an appropriate press release. The storm was not an official message, but the fact that after a few hours the release disappeared from the website of the administration.
Even the cache was cleaned, but in the web archive the page was preserved.

However, after that, officials in uniform and without had to somehow explain what was happening. A press release of the Ministry of Defense appeared:
“When testing the liquid reactive motor installation, an explosion and fire of the product occurred. As a result of the incident, six representatives of the Ministry of Defense and the development enterprise were injured of varying severity. Two specialists died from wounds. ”
It was also reported that no emissions were recorded.
The regional Rospotrebnadzor also said, which said that
“The department held a set of measures in order to study the influence and consequences of the life and health of the population of the region. An expert of the St. Petersburg Institute of Radiation Hygiene named after Professor P.V. was involved in an objective assessment. Ramzaev (...) Alexey Gromov. Samples of air, soil, water were selected, a radiation background was evaluated in Severodvinsk and its environs. The check was covered by several settlements. None of them exceeding the normal level of the radiation background was detected. Monitoring of the state of atmospheric air, drinking water, soil in the region continues in constant mode. ”
Meanwhile, the city administration began to invite people to a free thyroid examination. And the governor of the Arkhangelsk region Igor Orlov said that in the region there was no exceeding the level of the radiation background after the explosion at the military training ground.
Meanwhile, people turned on calculators and, using simple calculations, realized that they were lying.
Remember, during the first measurements, the data was not published in the usual micro -nytgenes, but in microsivetes. 2 microsiverts per hour is 200 micro Borentgen per hour. 4 times higher than the values of the radiation anxiety of 50 micro Borentgen per hour (this is a threshold level, evacuation is carried out when it is exceeded). And 20 times higher than the body of 10 micro -nytgen per hour for this area. True, a high concentration did not last long, which gave reason to assume that there was a local emission of a small amount of radioactive substance.
But in the water area, Nonoxy was noticed by the Serebryanka tanker, designed to collect radioactive waste. By that time, a message had already appeared about the closure for the free voyage of the Dvinsky Bay of the White Sea. The signal was transferred to all ships and vessels working in the White and Barents Seas. Unofficially in the port services they refer to the relevant military requirement.
Following the networks, a video of transportation of victims on reanimobiles, accompanied by personnel, was on the radiation protection costumes, appeared. As well as no one not refuted that patients were delivered to the Burnazyan FMBC - the flagship institution of Russian healthcare in the field of nuclear medicine.

Among the injuries injured, according to BAZA, Igor Berezin, Sergey Plaksin, Alexey Perepelkin, Dmitry Abalin, Alexander Manyusin, Sergey Grishin. The publication notes that the greatest doses of radiation were received by Berezin, Plaksin and Perepelkin. With reference to unnamed sources, the publication reports that
The clothes of the wounded and the costumes of chemical protection of specialists were burned.
A simple comparison of facts convinces that the military, to put it mildly, do not agree. Information about the presence of the Rosatom specialists on the exercises additionally clarifies the picture of events. And it suggests that the emergency is the result of the next unsuccessful launch of the “Petrel” - the latest hypersonic missile, the introduction of which President Putin announced in the message to the Federal Assembly on March 1, 2018.
The rocket is equipped with a nuclear energy installation, and it is not the first time that it is not the first time. So, tests were unsatisfactory in 2017, and the missile engine tests in 2019 at the Kapustin Yar’s training ground recognized, according to media reports, partially successful. The missile, according to the designers, should overcome the missile defense systems and air defense systems, however, as some experts believe, is dangerous not only for direct targets, but for the whole world, as it will create a “radioactive exhaust” throughout its flight.
The Norwegian Nuclear Safety Agency does not currently fix the excess of the permissible level of the radioactive background in the area. However, according to NRK, after the explosion, the agency increased the frequency of measurements of the background. Norwegian Kirkenes is located 700 km from Noknoksi.
Greenpeace of Russia turned to Rospotrebnadzor with a request to publish the reason for the increase in the radiation background, the nature of the radionuclides thrown into the atmosphere, to investigate its consequences for the environment and the population.

- Based on the fact that the radiation covered Severodvinsk, but it was short -term and did not leave traces of radioactive pollution, I can assume that its source nevertheless rose into the air. Most likely, the rocket took off, but it fell through a brief gap.
I do not think that it was a nuclear missile engine, most likely a small source of atomic energy, such as what was used in lighthouses. And he left a train of radiation. The presence in the area of the Serebryanka atomflot vessel, which serves to accept and transport the spent nuclear fuel, most likely suggests that the military planned subsequently, after testing, this source of radiation to this ship and take to Murmansk. It is unlikely to collect nuclear waste in the Serebryanka water area, as far as I know, she does not have equipment for this.
It is difficult for me to imagine that in Nonoksa launched a rocket with a nuclear engine. You have to be crazy to do it 30 km from the city. Such tests are acceptable on the New Earth, but not in the zone where people live - the danger is too great.
