Deafening blasts at Russian TNT plant leave 200 buildings damaged

A series of blasts rocked an explosives factory in the central Russian city of Dzerzhinsk, damaging almost 200 buildings. At least 79 people have been injured, 16 hospitalized.

Locals & soldiers suffer burns and shrapnel wounds after artillery depot explodes in Siberia (VIDEO)

At least eight people were injured after a series of loud blasts rocked a military base, reportedly packed with around 40,000 artillery shells, in Russia. An evacuation of all nearby villages was ordered.

The facilities damaged in the blast are part of Russia's scientific and research institute ‘Kristall’. It specializes in scientific and technological support for work related to the production of explosive materials and devises its safety measures.

This is the third blast suffered by the explosives-maker over the past year. Last August, five workers were killed in an explosion at the site, and in April an explosion destroyed a one-story building but caused no injuries.

Nobel blew up a lot of buildings and killed a few people developing dynamite. Hazards of the job I would think.

A very large blast to cause a Wilson cloud.

There goes the price of Wolf Ammo!

Looks like burning titanium in the first explosion . Very similar to the Chinese explosion recently .
Missile manufacturing , machining titanium , it catchs fire and can't be easily extinguished result a raging fire that catches onto other stocks of titanium and no way you can put it out then eventually the HE explosives magazine goes up and another bigger explosion goes off that could have been a small tac nuc because they are evacuating people after the explosion is all over . Possible radioactivity ??

I like this comment to the story.

 

[MrSmith]

Important facilities should always be insured against fire, because floods are hard to start.

Thank you,

I saw yesterday that there was a small radiation spike in the area, and the Russia has set up a 200km Quarantine zone around it. I will try to post that link.

 

[Alabusa]

Damn!!

 

[missed]

Russians always have had a way to make the biggest blow ups.

Chernobyl.....sayano hydro..... Now this.

One explosion looked like a small nuke going off to me . But it would be unusual to have the cores and the HE all assembled ready to go in the lab . Maybe radioactive material on site was just scattered by a large explosion that kinda looks like a nuke going off .

 

[c1steve]

What what I have read, it appears that first there was a fire and that personnel was able to hide in a blast shelter. I assume the fire was out of control and took several minutes to reach the explosives.

 

[Carlos Danger]

They seem to be quite good at what they do there.

 

[sirhrmechanic]

They seem to be quite good at what they do there.

Except for the part where they are supposed to pay attention to the “no smoking” signs.

Early reports are saying survivors in the blast shelter got exposed to about 3.6 retrogen from the blast and dust fallout. That's not great but not terrible really like having a couple chest xrays.

 

[missed]

Actually that's about 6 PET scans,

Chest x-ray is about 0.1 msv, they got about 135msv nearly 3/4 of the permissable nuclear worker limit in the US. Just the dose total is only part of the equation, how fast, radiation type, all plays into it.... If they got all that dose in an hour there going to require significant medical treatment.

it was a joke, its a reference the that chernobyl show.

At least they won’t be dying of cancer.

Gotcha I missed that. It's like " the dose rates are only 100mR" , but the meter only goes to 100mR......

I think you mean magnesium.

Russia accidentally blows up their own stuff a lot. I doubt this was anything other than one of their many large scale industrial accidents.

 

[sabrecross]

If your going to do it, do it big!

 

[Country]

I think you mean magnesium.

No , Titanium as it catches on fire machining it especially the swarf if you are no careful . Once on fire water does not put it out in fact it explodes more . A lot of Titanium is used in building Missiles and careless operators can allow swarf to build up and can result in a fire that can ignite other volatile materials .

Magnesium burns a lot freer and brighter than titanium.
You need to be a lot more careful machining magnesium than you do titanium.
Most machining centres we supply with the intent on machining magnesium are equipped with some sort of internal fire suppressent in the machining area. Never have we done so for a titanium machine.

 

[Country]

But Titanium is used a lot in manufacturing missiles and such . They were working on building a nuclear powered cruise missile .

 

[Silverjay]

Put salt on it.

So is magnesium. Titanium is used as a heat shield in many rocket applications.

A guy I know said it would be like 4 chest x-rays.

 

[hermosabeach]

Someone on the news said it might have been a nuclear powered ICBM.

Instead of jet fuel, it’s a small reactor so they can fly hypersonic. Also pollute radio active exhaust from launch to explosion.

Mysterious Russian Nuclear Explosion Upgraded From Weird to Baffling Amid Evacuation Confusion

Russia military officials issued conflicting reports this week about whether residents in areas near a mysterious nuclear explosion must evacuate.

So the Russians have finally advanced to 70s era missile tech? That sounds a lot like project Pluto from back during the cold war.
