#OTD in 1982, while on duty in the Barents Sea, the Soviet Navy's Northern Fleet Project 705K/Alfa-class interceptor SSN K-123 suffered a release of approx. 2 tonnes of a liquid metal coolant from the reactor into the reactor compartment, leading to a deterioration of the radiation situation.
As a result of the coolant loss she immediately lost the power, surfaced, the power plant was switched into a cooldown mode, power consumption was transferred to the battery & diesel generator, and the accident was reported to the HQ via radio. K-123 was towed to her home base by the rescue ship Altai.
The accident irreparably damaged the reactor so that it had to be replaced & it took nine years to finish the repairs. The cause of the accident was later defined as a clogging of the steam generator tubes with sludge & corrosion damage.

RT @Forsvaret_no: Fred, frihet og trygghet. Vi tar det kanskje litt for gitt. Men på denne dagen for 84 år siden fikk vi oppleve hvordan det er når dette blir tatt fra oss. Fortsatt lever mange i verden i fred og utrygghet. Det minner oss om at vi aldri må ta friheten og verdiene våre for gitt.

April 9th 1940, a day of infamy.
The next two months saw active fighting in Norway.
Then came 5 years of Nazi occupation, with the struggle for freedom continuing from abroad, in exile.
We must never forget.

This evening, a road bridge collapsed onto railroad tracks in Vyazma, Russia. One person died and several others were injured. According to @belzhd_live, train traffic on the Moscow-Minsk route has been suspended due to the bridge collapse. This railway line is actually the only corridor for passenger trains of Moscow-Minsk route, through which 14-23 trains per day pass.
Railroad workers note that at the time of the collapse, a freight train was on the tracks under the bridge.

RT @Tatarigami_UA: Battle for Chasiv Yar. Analysis, Implications, Projection
🧵Thread:
The battle for Chasiv Yar is a litmus test for both sides. Losing control of it will have dire results for Ukraine. Failure to capture Chasiv Yar on time would raise doubts about Russia's ability to seize Donbas
