	Fire breaks out aboard Northern Fleet nuclear sub, killing 2
		The Northern Fleet submarine, which was on routine patrol in Russia's northern and Arctic waters, was anchored off the North of the Rybachiy peninsula, one of continental Russia’s most northerly points, near the Norwegian border, when the blaze broke out, killing two and injuring one.
		The Victor III class submarine is typially staffed with a crew of 102.
		It was determined that a torpedo accident during a test launch from the vessel, which was on a naval exercise in the Barents Sea, was the cause of the explosion that sank it.

	Victor Class - Project 671
		The Victor class submarines were designed to engage enemy ballistic missile submarines, antisubmarine taskforces, and to protect friendly vessels and convoys from enemy attacks.
		The hull of the Victor II class was divided into eight compartments: 1 Torpedo room and accumulators; 2 Accommodations and mess; 3 Control room; 4 Reactor; 5 Turbines; 6 Turbo generators; 7 Living accommodation and diesel generators; 8 Steering system and electric motor.
		The outer hull of the Victor III is made partly from light alloys, and is distinguishable by a high stern fin fitted with a towed array dispenser -- the first Soviet submarine fitted with a towed array.

	Victor Class submarine history and deployment
		The PLA (podvodaya lodka atomnaya or Atomic Powered Submarine) or 'Victor I' as it was known in the West, first went to sea in 1967.
		The Victor III was developed because of the information supplied to the Soviets by the Walker spy ring in the United States.
		It was the first Soviet submarine to mount a towed sonar array which was housed in a large bubble at the rear of the submarine..

		'VICTOR II' is a lengthened version of the 'VICTOR I', accommodating the new SS-N-16 ASW missile, which required greater torpedo room space.
		This submarine has snagged a frigate's "tail" (towed array sonar), the cable for which can be seen looped around the submarine's stern fin/rudder.
		These submarines, while of relatively high quality, were very expensive to construct; construction was accordingly cancelled in favor of the cheaper 'AKULA' class.

		Yet, the episode was an immense embarrassment not only for the Soviets: the Swedes could never explain how a submarine of 1950s vintage had managed to penetrate their waters undetected until passing fisherman in a dory looked over - and there she was: the Whiskey atop the rocks.
		This encounter occurred either in 1983 or in 1986, when a Victor III-class Soviet attack submarine became entangled in a 10cm thick steel cable for towing sonar of the USN frigate USS McCloy.

	Submarine Accidents
		The two American submarines and three of the Soviet nuclear submarines sank as a result of accident; the fourth Soviet vessel was scuttled in the Kara Sea upon the decision of responsible authorities when repair was deemed impossible and decommissioning too expensive.
		The crew was evacuated to a diesel submarine, and K-19 was towed home to base on the Kola Peninsula.[16] K-11 The second nuclear accident to occur was in February 1965 aboard the Project 627 - November class submarine K-11.
		The Project 627 - November class submarine K-8 was on exercise in the Barents Sea when a leak developed in the steam generators and in a pipe leading to the compensator reception.

	Type 093 submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Type 093 is a nuclear powered attack submarine class (it is also referred to by the NATO reporting name Shang-class) deployed by the Chinese navy, the PLAN.
		The Victor III class is rated as quiet as the U.S. 688 (Los Angeles) class SSN, and uses sophisticated sonar system, to include bow, flank-mounted and towed sonar arrays.
		The Victor III is reported to have a max dive depth of 400~600m, and the Type 093 is expected to be able to reach the same depth.

	nuclear submarine reactor accidents
		In the Northern fleet, 6 reactors on 4 submarines have been dumped at sea - "it was impossible to offload the fuel from all six submarine reactors dumped with spent nuclear fuel because of the emergency condition of the cores".
		In addition 85 % of the submarines in the Northern Fleet which have been decommissioned have not been defuelled, in some cases this is because the reactor cores are damaged.
		In an accident at a submarine berth, base emergency services, local fire and ambulance crews and personnel in the base assisting on the scene could be exposed to high levels of radiation.

	Fire on Russian nuclear submarine kills two
		Two submariners have been killed and one injured in a fire aboard a Russian nuclear submarine in the Barents Sea close to Norway, with naval sources insisting that the incident posed no risk of radioactive contamination.
		The submarine, the Saint Daniel of Moscow, was on the surface of the Barents Sea north of the Rybachy peninsula at the time of the fire late Wednesday.
		Russia's submarine fleet has experienced numerous such incidents since the Soviet Union's 1991 collapse, most notably the sinking of the Kursk in August 2000, also in the Barents Sea not far from the northern fleet's headquarters at Severomorsk.

	CNS - Russian Submarine Dismantlement Issues - December 3, 2003 - Research Story of the Week
		The recent sinking of the K-159, caused by insufficient oversight during a rush to transport 16 submarines to dismantlement sites from remote Gremikha Naval Base over the summer,[3] makes it quite clear that foreign partners must be involved in decisions affecting all stages of the dismantlement process, lest they contribute to another accident.

	RUSSIA’S LATEST NAVAL TRAGEDY - Eurasia Daily Monitor
		On the morning of September 7, the St. Daniil Moskovsky, a Russian Victor III-class submarine that was commissioned in 1990 and went to sea in 1991, caught fire in the Barents Sea.
		In 2000 the Kursk submarine exploded and sank in the Barents Sea, killing 118 men, and in 2003 nine members of a ten-man crew died when their submarine sank in gale force winds in the Barents Sea even as it was being towed to a scrap yard.
		Masorin also admitted that the submarine had missed its repair deadline, but nevertheless its service life had been extended because it was in good condition and all necessary repair work had been carried out, including the installation of a new accumulator (RIA-Novosti, Russia and CIS military newswire, September 7).

	EH - Karotechia Submarine
		Depending on the exact class of boat, and where it takes the hit, a Russian submarine might be able to survive a hit from a Mk 48 torpedo, or might sink immediately.
		Other classes (such as the Victor, I believe) are closer to the "single hull" construction of most US SSNs (with the ballast tanks at the bow and stern, instead of on each side of the pressure hull), and a hit there that penetrates the hull would probably be a kill.
		On the modernized Victor III, these would be replaced by a single 7 or 8 bladed screw (similar to that of the 688I boats but optimized to the Victor III hull form).

	NTI: Issue Brief: Submarine Dismantlement Assistance
		Scrapping these vessels is an expensive, hazardous, and slow process, and once the submarines have been dismantled, the resulting radioactive spent fuel and radioactive waste must be disposed of in a safe and secure manner.
		Work at Nerpa includes modernizing the facility so that submarine reactor compartments, now temporarily stored in floating units consisting of three submarine compartments, can be towed there, cut out of these floating units, given a biological shield, and welded shut in preparation for long-term storage in a new land-based facility in nearby Sayda Bay.
		Several decommissioned submarines, solid and liquid radioactive waste, and spent fuel from Alfa-class submarine liquid metal reactors remain at the site, which requires extensive remediation.[7] However, as of April 2004 negotiations with France did not appear to be moving forward quickly.
