ST. PETERSBURG, August 1 (RIA Novosti, Northwest, Anna Novak) - Investigations are being carried out into the fire at the Zvezdochka factory in Severodvinsk (a White Sea port), a city administration spokesman said.
The spokesman also said that one person is currently being treated for severe burns.
The fire broke out in a section of the Zvezdochka factory, where one nuclear submarine had already been decommissioned, at 8:30 Moscow time (4:30 GMT). One person has died. The submarine's nuclear reactor had previously been removed.
Zvezdochka's chief engineer Oleg Frolov said the fire was caused by diesel fuel igniting.
