  • At the end of the Cold War, the Russian Navy, bereft of funds, abruptly decommissioned 100 nuclear powered submarines, leaving behind a massive nuclear waste disposal problem. Once the pride of the USSR, the Soviet’s fleet of nuclear submarines now lies rusting in the remote fjords of Murmansk. Now, a concerned team of engineers is tasked with cleaning up this nuclear mess.

      Typical american Documentaries and Shows like this, Over dramatised, Too much patriotism, Fear mongering, not enough technical information.
      Look if you compare British version of Air Crash Investigation Versus US version MAYDAY (same stories about same plane accident but in British version you learn much more technical information of what happened and often learn new aviation knowledge.
      But the American Version leaves you with more questions and like the episode ended early.
      Tho i guess that is understandable due to differences in US Education Levels & Quality versus the UK which is much Higher Standard of Education and Average IQ.

      I think the Russians alongside the Germans are decommissioning and getting the radioactive material into containers and the containers sent to a high tech above storage facility designed to have a safe life for hundreds of years, the facility was/is managed by the Germans, or it was until recently.

    Even if the nuclear submarines survived the M.A.D scenario what would the crews do?, the whole world destroyed and nuclear radiation killing even those in their hi-tech bunkers because they ran out of supplies or direct hits on them, the submarine crews would be in a radioactive soup that would eventually kill them, especially when they have to create oxygen from seawater, and I don’t think they have come up with a filter to remove the radiation from it, they would just have a little longer to live than most.

      I don't think you understand how some of these things work or what they were there for. Their point was to deter 1st strike by making retaliation impossible to stop. If you're the guy in a bunker on either the USA or USSR side with an itch in your doomsday button finger, if you can launch first in a surprise attack and be sure to destroy all the weapons of your opponent before they have time to launch - it would be very tempting. But if you know that _even if_ you hit every bunker the other guy has, they have missiles enough under the sea to retaliate and destroy you - you won't launch because if you do, both are destroyed.
      What happens afterwards if the calculation is wrong doesn't matter since none of them are intended to launch - get it?
      Also, radiation isn't filterable, but the stuff emitting radiation sure as hell is, and quite easily too. Creating oxygen from seawater gives you just that - oxygen. There is no radiation in it to remove, you're misunderstanding how this works. Radiation is not a substance or a poison, the substances that emit radiation are for the most part trivial to filter. If you have water with U-238 in it for example, let it sit for a couple of hours without stirring, and all the U-238 will be in the bottom of the glass or whatever, the top half of the glass is perfectly safe to drink if you don't mix it. I'd use a straw carefully so you don't have to move the glass and mix it up.

      @@noth606 As you believe that I don’t know how the deterrent effect works and that you think that a M.A.D situation will never arise then okay, however you are wrong, I do understand both premises and that submarines that create oxygen from sea water can filter out the contaminants to a certain degree, but in the process of filtering the contaminants are entering the system and therefore inside the submarine, you can get perfectly safe oxygen but you can’t escape the fact that you have radio active particles onboard, now I expect there is a system in place to dump the de-oxygenated water back into the sea/ocean thus removing the majority of contaminants, but not all the contaminants can be removed and that leaves the system and the submarine contaminated and over time the contamination will get worse, yes the contamination will eventually filter down to the seabed and will stay there until it is disturbed by the sea/ocean itself or by activity that causes it to rise up into the shallower water, and then the cycle starts again, I’m sure you are going to tell me I’m wrong, however, bare in mind that depending on the yield of a weapon and detonation type can make a huge difference in how far Gamma radiation can be deadly, don’t forget that the only defence against Gamma is Time, Distance and Shielding, Time for it to decay, Distance away from the initial blast and from the radioactive material that falls back to earth, and Shielding is the amount of material between you and the radiation, lead being the material that can absorb the most radiation but not enough to make you completely safe, nothing can fully protect you from Gamma radiation, Alpha and Beta can be easily defended against by using simple things like washing particles from exposed skin, brushing particles from clothing and footwear, but Gamma is the Killer and once contaminated it is only a matter of time before you reach a lethal dose and then it is a very very painful death. I’m sorry you think I’m clueless about the deterrent and M.A.D scenario but not all of us are nuclear physicists.
      Oh, before I forget, the extraction of oxygen from seawater has a special name, perhaps you could enlighten me to that and how it is actually achieved.

      @@allandavis8201 Well, the most important thing to understand I think is that what you should worry about as no1 is not radiation per se but radioactive materials. Radiation can kill you sure, but once you're away or shielded from it, you won't "get worse" as it were - simplifying it a bit. If you've had a lethal dose you will be dead in a matter of hours or at max a few days-
      Radioactive materials are another kettle of fish, if you get a tiny bit of radioactive dust inside you, chances are very high that it will kill you. Not right away, it may take years even, but they will be years of suffering and fighting with cancers, tumors and other nasty things popping up again and again until you can't deal with it anymore and expire. Once inside you, you cannot get rid of the radioactive material if it was in dust form.
      To me, these are very different things, I've worked with radioactive materials in a lab, the radioactivity doesn't bother me much since it's short term exposures. The source materials themselves are something I have been extremely cautious with, keeping them sealed inside some container or material to make sure nothing rubs off or breaks off.
      I have been exposed to radiation in a lab, enough to destroy the dosimeter I carried with me to monitor my exposure. But it was less than a minute of exposure, 20sec maybe. As far as I know, nothing much happened from it, in the 30yrs since then I've had no health issues that would fit the type of things radiation exposure is known to bring. Have had a heart attack and other things but there is no direct link there as far as I know.
      You can separate oxygen from water, be it salty or not - by electrolysis, which on a nuke sub isn't an issue since you have plenty of power. There are a few different practical ways this is done, and often it is coupled with filtering the air in general and removing co2, but depending on the age of the equipment and size, the exact process used varies. To a large degree radioactive contaminants in the source water will not travel through the process into the output air, so the process itself acts like a filter. You do end up with waste but you'd just eject it back into the outside water on a sub.
