Until 1992, Russia disposed of radioactive wastewater, radioactive waste and explosive nuclear waste in the Arctic Sea. And the ailing Northern Fleet was sunk here along with a no longer usable nuclear submarine.

They form an atomic time bomb, even if official Russian authorities stubbornly deny an acute danger.
