  • The Soviet Unions early entry into nuclear propulsion came at a high cost. The November was revolutionary, reckless and changed naval warfare during the Cold War.

    Interestingly, Alexandrov was also responsible for the RBMK project and was its principal designer. ---- and I can tell you how an RBMK explodes. The K11 incident matches the description of an incident which occurred to a gentleman named Anatoly Dyatlov while he worked for the navy. He would go on to become deputy chief engineer of Chernobyl, who chose to monitor a turbogenerator test in 1986.

    Outstanding presentation sir. At a young age, I was earmarked to train and serve in the Submarine Service (Royal Navy). Unfortunately, a medical condition made me ineligible, so I never had the chance to serve in a boat. The sheer guts of those Russian submariners is breathtaking, and the foolhardy things they got up to are legendary. I suppose the sinking of the Kursk finally killed any romantic notions I might have had about the life of a submariner.

    In addition to their "submarine pay" - which supplemented their normal Soviet Naval pay - Officers and Ratings who served in the NOVEMBER class [and in the HOTEL and ECHO classes, which essentially had the same power train] received an additional special allowance, which was colloquially known as "childless money". This was because of the higher than normal incidence of testicular cancer [and other cancers] among such Soviet servicemen and also the elevated levels of birth defects among their children. Suspected causes were poor reactor shielding plus the frequent accidents affecting their nuclear power plants [as highlighted in this presentation].

    Makes you appreciate just how advanced American Albacore exp hull and Permit/Skipjack class were for the time. Compared to Soviets. Hull shape optimized for submerged operation. Bow mounted sonardome, port and stbd angle offset torpedo tubes. SIngle reactor plant, single screw. Small, high speed, maneuverable. Sustained 30 knots+ flank. A submarine version of then LeMans sports car. IMHO, high crew complement.

    Yeah, control rods attached to the cap is a bad design. When Chernobyl blew, the rods that weren't melted in place were ripped out of the core when the cap was blown off by the steam explosion. Nothing remained to control the reaction making the corium fire that much harder to put out.

      ​@@1190-3-t I remembered something the other day. According to "Midnight in Chernobyl"
      by Adam Higginbotham, Jacques Roy, et al., it was Soviet policy to treat any nuclear accidents as state secrets and classify them up the yin-yang. Developing a fix is a lot harder if nobody is allowed to talk about what went wrong. Even being able to say, "Make sure the lid on the VM-A's is correctly oriented of it won't go on right. Don't ask me how I know this," can go a long way to improve safety culture.

      The main shaft that telescopes into the boat is significantly more robust than the part that is exposed topside. It is also supported by bearings both above and below the operator's position, so the force is kind of focused onto the more fragile exposed area above the sail. Minor leaking is still likely after severe periscope damage

    This class of submarine, and other early Soviet nuclear submarines were cancer factories. Now naval hospitals in Russia see lots of former sailors who have radiation induced cancers and other maladies because they were unfortunate to be assigned to these vessels. There was not nearly enough shielding, and that was because the Communist Party wanted a fast submarine and the well being of the crew was at best a distant second in their list of priorities. In other words, if they had enough shielding to protect the crew, the boats would have not been able to exceed 30 knots. At any rate, they were noisy and easy to detect for the Western boats and ASW vessels. It is very fortunate for the crews and the world these vessels never saw combat. Their destruction would have created underwater Chernobyls, and it seems they nearly created more Chernobyls by mistakes made by refueling crews. Russia really needed badly their own Hyman Rickover. Say what you want to about him as a man, but he had the right idea that when it comes to nuclear power, safety and competence were everything to him. If he was in charge of the Soviet nuclear program, I think he would have bent even the Central Committee to his iron will. I think he and my father shared DNA in common.

    I would say if the reactor coolant ( water ) depressurizes and the fuel rods are hot it will cause the water coolant to boil to steam and a steam pocket under the pressure vessel lid not circulating out heat will cause the fuel rods to melt. More like the American " 3 mile Island accident 1979 " Than Chernobyl Ukraine 1986.
    Chernobyl was a horrible reactor design where the fuel rods moderated with graphite layers not submerged in water coolant moderator like everyone else has air and combustible hydrogen gases from the coolant leaking in pipes/ tubes running bottom to top been heated by the fuel rods to steam and collected in a steam drum at the top. ( electrolysis ). They essentially had a large pipe bomb where rapid insertion of boron / silver control rods caused a spike in thermal reaction with steam water graphite Air Hydrogen and BOOM. A large PIPE BOMB.

    Those buoys actually killed all 118 sailors on the Kursk. After a torpedo‘s monopropellant leaked and caused a massive explosion taking off the entire nose and killing everyone between the torpedo room and the bridge. The reactor immediately shut down safely and the crew survived, without power in a sunk submarine for up to 3 days until oxygen ran out. They didn’t initially find the submarine, and when they did the two rescue submarines broke and had to be repaired. There is a letter that was written by a Young Officer, who became the new officer in charge after the bridge exploded,up to the knees in oily, ice cold seawater without light.
