The Kursk accident

Creators

Description

Monitoring of radioactivity inside the submarine and in the surroundings of Kursk did not show any sign of leakage from the reactors. Based on present knowledge a preliminary impact assessment, following a ''worst case'' scenario during a lifting operation is performed. An estimated activity level of about 80-100 Bq/kg of 137Cs in fish is found if 100 % of the radionuclides in the reactors are released to the seawater. (Author)
