fiveworlds Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) I see a video showing a sub station explosion at the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant in Kursk, Russia which immediately knocked out power throughout the surrounding area on December, 1st, 2014 https://mx.screen.yahoo.com/must-see-videos/power-plant-explosion-leaves-russian-152807079.html Edited December 5, 2014 by fiveworlds
fiveworlds Posted December 5, 2014 Author Posted December 5, 2014 That was all it said John, googled it didn't find anything else on it.
swansont Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 What is science-worthy about a power substation explosion?
fiveworlds Posted December 6, 2014 Author Posted December 6, 2014 That depends on what a curious person can learn from it. Perhaps that the NPP runs an RBMK reactor similar in design to chernobyl. I did manage to find the original article. http://lifenews.ru/news/146148

I did manage to find the original article. http://lifenews.ru/news/146148 ! Moderator Note That's just more video, presumably of people saying "Holy ^$#&*" in Russian. The reactor type does not matter — the substation blew up, not the reactor, right? It's a power outage. Not really science-newsworthy
