France's minister of the armed forces insists there was "no nuclear accident", after a fire broke out on a nuclear submarine on Friday morning. The vessel "La Perle" had been undergoing renovations in a drydock in Toulon when the incident happened. Firefighters extinguished the blaze after 14 hours. Minister Florence Parly says there were no casualties and no risk of radiation because the nuclear fuel had been removed. SOUNDBITE
This Russian nuclear powered submarine, believed to be the K-550 Alexander Nevsky, one of Russia's newest nuclear subs, shocked several fishermen when it surfaced just yards away from their inflated dinghy as they were just fishing for fun in the Sea of Japan. The men quickly whipped out their mobile phones and captured the crazy experience on camera.
Russian media reported Tuesday a fire had started aboard a nuclear submarine that was undergoing repairs at a shipyard in Russia’s northern province of Arkhangelsk.
