Five employees of Russia's atomic agency have been killed in a blast while testing a liquid jet propulsion system, a state agency says

The five were killed"while testing a liquid jet propulsion system," Rosatom, which oversees all Russian nuclear projects, said in a statement on its website. It added three more people were injured and"have burns of varying severity." The incident happened Thursday near Severodvinsk, a town in the Arkhangelsk region which is home to a naval base and a shipyard.

However, local authorities in Severodvinsk released a statement Thursday that said there was a radiation spike following the blast. That statement has since been deleted from the official website. A spokesperson for the Severodvinsk administration told RBC, a Russian daily business newspaper, that the statement had been removed from the website"as the situation is being handled by the Ministry of Defense.

Paging clmazin. I’m sure this is fine. Completely fine.

Oh this was in Russia, we all know the far left is involved in the Russian Hoax. You love russia so much you wish you were russian.

Hard work building a new bomb. Good thing Trump is Putin’s puppet since most Presidents, GOP or Dem would take exception to that. Not Trump.

Oh, brother!!

Friendly reminder: Russia doesn’t make anything good....

they cant run their own test site with out blowing it up Buuuuut can run US election !

Five less russians😪

Pity it wasn't Putin.

Trumps fault

Thats what happen when individuals are use as quinea pigs.Nothing happen to big shots.Unfortunally they needed the job or they were obeying orders .

CNN sucks

Thank god Ireland is on this map

realDonaldTrump is running around trying to figure out where he can get remnants of the blast site he can sell at his properties for souvenirs or glow in the dark nite lights at high profits.

It was a large nuclear explosion & way more than 5 dead.

Wow...atomic?

Right. I think they mean small nuclear blast. What kind of jet propulsion uses nuclear fuel?

5 employees, not great, not terrible.

Element 115?

If the Russian state agency said five people were killed, it was probably something around 20 or 25.

I assume they had information on the Clinton’s.

Trump is troubled by the bewildering Japanese Prime Minister Abe.

Trump said, 'We have to get along with each other because we can't get into the South Korea-Japan conflict.'

Perhaps Trump is conscious of Kim Jong Un and is responding.

This is how Marvel movies start

Trump said he didn't like the South Korea-U.S. military drills. He said it would cost too much money.

In preparation for world war III i guess...

U.S. President Trump answered reporters' questions on his 10-day vacation from today. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un says his letter is very beautiful.

Not great, not terrible.

Not great, not terrible...

May They *Rest In Peace* 😥‼️

So, when does the radiation cloud get here?

Actually, they’re trying to access the Upside Down again.

“local authorities in Severodvinsk released a statement Thursday that said there was a radiation spike following the blast. That statement has since been deleted from the official website.”

Graphite tipped control rods again?

Rosatom confirmed that the incident took place at the Arkhangelsk region.'

The Russian Defense Ministry said at the time that two people died while testing the liquid jet propulsion system and that no dangerous substances were released into the atmosphere. I Don't Believe You! 🙏

Rosatom says five employees killed in blast while testing isotope and liquid propellant engine

Chernobyl again ! When are theses country’s going to learn.

5 killed in Russian ' liquid jet propultion'.

Who knows how delighted the US is?

Sad to hear, and deepest condolences to all the family's affected, 😢

The reports about the accident are coming in small piece by even tinier piece

Maximum care is required on such sensitive explosives before conducting operation. Who takes the responsibility?

Write, that was a Nuclear Weapon because that was a Nuclear Blast.

Previously on ... 'The Americans' (start music)....

So under water nukes, quite the arms race

Sure. I'm guessing Putin was out of Polonium. So he just had them have an accident.

Kat_LynD That’s science

Odd CNN should know where Russian top secret military bases are.

Espérons que ce n est pas radioactif.

World war 3

What's the real number of casualties?

FakeNews

5 in Russian is 50

You didn’t mention about raising a radiation around.

Very disappointing, these kind of tests should have more safety procedures involved🙏
