🚨 New findings from the K‑278 Komsomolets wreck A fresh analysis shows the sunken Soviet submarine is still releasing intermittent radioactive material from its reactor, traced to corroding nuclear fuel deep in the Norwegian Sea. Thanks to seawater dilution, researchers report little long‑term accumulation, but the case highlights ongoing risks from legacy nuclear vessels.
