    Post A Mysterious Explosion Took Place in Russia. What Really Happened?

    A Mysterious Explosion Took Place in Russia. What Really Happened?

    Russia’s catastrophic test of a nuclear-powered missile proves that a new global arms race will mean new nuclear accidents.

    On Aug. 8, 2019, Russian authorities issued a surprising announcement. Some sort of accident had occurred during a test of a missile engine near the city of Severodvinsk, along Russia’s Arctic coast. Two people died, and there had been a brief spike in radiation detected. Soon after, images and videos appeared on social media of first responders in hazmat suits, ambulances, and a helicopter for an emergency airlift. The reference to radiation was striking—tests of missile engines don’t involve radiation. Well, with one exception: In 2018, Russia announced it had tested a cruise missile powered by a nuclear reactor. It calls this missile the 9M730 Burevestnik. NATO calls it the SSC-X-9 Skyfall.
