A radiation spike in Russia on Thursday may have been caused when one of Vladimir Putin's top secret Zircon hypersonic missiles exploded during tests, reports in the country have claimed today.

Radiation levels temporarily soared 20 times above the normal level in Severodvinsk, a city 18 miles from the weapons testing site at Nyonoksa, according to Greenpeace citing the Russian Emergencies Ministry.

Moscow has thrown a veil of secrecy over the incident yesterday in the sub-Arctic Arkhangelsk region, which left two dead and reportedly sparked 'panic' and 'hysteria' among residents and a rush to buy iodine from pharmacies.

One report, from an online news source, suggested six people injured in the mysterious military accident had suffered serious radiation doses as well as injuries from an explosion. Footage has emerged showing casualties being transported by men in protective suits.

I was involved in the nuclear aircraft program back in 1955. My work was on guidance, not the power plant, but I had to learn a lot about the power plant. It wasn't just the crew that had to be shielded. The radiation would have killed the gyroscopes as well as the crew. Not good. Nuclear reactors are OK in sea-going vessels, where you can accept a lot of shielding, but not for aircraft. I doubt they'll ever work for spacecraft either. Not until we can use Unobtanium for shielding.

Fake news. Right now it is 0.15 mSv radiation level across the road from Navy shipyard in Severodvinsk.
