Small leak found from nuclear Soviet sub that sank in 1989

A small radiation leak from a Soviet nuclear submarine that sank 30 years ago has been found, Norwegian researchers said Thursday, but it poses no risk to people or fish.

Hilde Elise Heldal of the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research said that levels "weren't alarmingly high."
"We took water samples from inside this particular duct because the Russians had documented leaks here both in the 1990s and more recently in 2007," said Heldal, the expedition leader."So we weren't surprised to find high levels here."
"What we have found during has very little impact on Norwegian fish and seafood," she added. "In general, cesium levels in the Norwegian Sea are very low, and as the wreck is so deep, the pollution from Komsomolets is quickly diluted."
