| Thats a good point about the former Soviet nuclear fleet. There's a massive navy base on the outskirts of St.Petersburg. I sailed past it a few times about 8-10 years ago and there were rows and rows of out of commission subs and other warships lined up there rusting. There must be loads of these things sitting in similar bases. The old Soviet vessels weren't exactly known as being particulary well shielded etc so its probably a lot more than just the reactor that's a bit 'hot'. |
