MOSCOW, August 11 (RIA Novosti) - There is no radiation threat from the nuclear submarine being towed from Kamchatka to the Maritime Territory in the Far East for maintenance work, a Russian Navy official said.
Captain 1st Class Igor Dygalo, an aide to the Navy Commander, commented on the Japanese media's concerns over the status of the nuclear submarine being transported near Japan's border.
Dygalo said two sea tugs were transporting the Pacific Fleet's non-strategic nuclear sub. "All necessary nuclear security measures are being observed," he said.
