One of the scientists killed,
Vyacheslav Lipshev, 40, with his widow Natalia Alexeeva
Putin’s comments to widows and
relations of the scientists came during a ceremony of state decorations at the
Kremlin Thursday where he awarded the deceased employees of Russia’s state
nuclear company with the Order of Courage, posthumously.
‘They led a very difficult, responsible
and critical direction, we are talking about the most advanced and unmatched
technical ideas and solutions,’ he said.
On August 8, five employees of
the Russia’s nuclear company, Rosatom, were blown up while testing a nuclear
rocket propulsion system at the Nyonoska testing site in the White Sea. The
blast caused a brief radiation spike in the nearby city of Severodvinsk.
Putin said that they made ‘an
indispensable contribution to the strengthening of the Russian state.’
He expressed his condolences to
the widowed but maintained that Russia would go on developing this type of
advanced weaponry.
‘The fact of possessing such
unique technologies is today the most important reliable guarantee of peace on
the planet. And no matter what, we will certainly improve this weapon,’ he
said.
The August explosion raised
concerns that a prototype of a weapon, called Burevestnik by Russia and known
as Skyfall by NATO, is being developed by the Kremlin. —Daily Mail
