Russian Submarine Explosion

Behold, our arch nemesis from the Cold War!

One person has been killed and another injured in an explosion on a Russian nuclear submarine in dock for decommissioning.

The blast occurred at the Zvyozdochka shipyard, in Severodvinsk, where the vessel had been sent to be dismantled.

Reports say the nuclear reactor had already been removed.

The Viktor class submarine arrived at the yard in June and the work was due to be carried out using funds from Canada, Interfax reported.

What is it with Canada and submarine fires? Seriously, this is probably an absolute non-issue, but it's worth at least knowing about.
