No radiation threat from nuclear submarine fire

A massive fire engulfed a Russian nuclear submarine in an Arctic shipyard today, but there has been no radiation leak or injuries, officials said.

The fire on the Yekaterinburg nuclear submarine occurred while it was in dock for repairs at the Roslyakovo shipyard in the Murmansk region, said Irina Gretskaya, a spokeswoman for the Emergencies Ministry’s branch in the area.
