Nuclear failure. How Siberian rivers did not enter the Caspian

And megatons in the mind


Exactly half a century ago - on March 23, 1971, three 127-kiloton nuclear charges were detonated simultaneously in three underground wells, 15 m deep, between the Kolva and Pechora rivers. Little is written about these explosions and blockbusters are not filmed. Although the harm from them was considerable. And in case of continuation it could turn out to be completely disastrous.

It exploded then near the villages of Chusovskoye and Vasyukovo in the Cherdynsky district of the Perm region. There, between Kolva and Pechora, a canal was planned to transfer water from the Kama basin and these deep rivers to the North Caspian.



However, the inhabitants of those villages, as well as the large nearby town of Krasnovishersk, no one thought to evacuate with the given, if I may say so, "work".

It is difficult to surprise Perm residents with explosions. Even so powerful. And then it was considered nothing more than an integral part of large-scale government projects.

As you know, there were serious plans for the transfer of northern rivers to the Lower Volga, as well as to the Caspian and Aral basins. The implementation of these projects, in contrast to the energetic plowing of virgin lands, did not take place either in the 70s or later.

But the disastrous consequences of those explosions, called "Taiga", turned out to be practically indefinite. However, everything could have turned out to be not only worse, but much worse - after all, in order to create channels through which it was planned to transfer the northern European rivers, it was supposed to produce up to 250 nuclear explosions!

"Taiga" - three in one


But in reality, only one series of three simultaneous explosions took place - on March 23, 1971.

The shaking was then felt by the villagers within a radius of 60 km. The soil was thrown through the flames by the explosion to a height of up to 300 m.After that, it began to fall down, creating a growing dust cloud, which rose to a height of about 1800 m.

At the same time, no data on the radiation consequences of the aforementioned explosion were disclosed by the relevant authorities. And even today, these data are only rarely found in purely "unofficial" publications.

And yet it is well known that you cannot hide a sewing in a sack.

Radioactive particles soon after the explosion spread to Finland and Sweden, where it was quickly recorded. And this was a violation of the Moscow Treaty Banning Nuclear Testing in Three Environments.

As you know, the treaty was signed by the USSR, the USA and Great Britain on August 5, 1963 in Moscow. Among other things, and therefore this project was closed by the fall of 1974. But his traces still remain in the same area of ​​the Perm Territory.


And the transfer of northern and western Siberian rivers was sanctioned by the plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU (December 9, 1968), instructing the State Planning Committee, the State Committee for Supply and 20 other Soviet departments to work out schemes and resource support for transferring the flow of the Pechora, Vychegda, Kama and tributaries to the Caspian-Lower Volga basin.

In parallel, the West Siberian Ob, Irtysh and Tobol were supposed to "retarget" to the Aral Sea. As prescribed by the party Central Committee, for:

“Sustainable water supply of vast low and waterless spaces, elimination of water scarcity in vast areas of the Caspian lowland, Western, Central Kazakhstan and the Aral Sea basin”.

The bill went to billions of rubles and ... millions of people


As noted by the head of the State Planning Committee of the USSR in 1949-1957. Maxim Saburov (1900-1977), ranked in 1959 among the "anti-party group of Molotov, Malenkov and Kaganovich, as well as Shepilov who joined them", such unpredictable projects

“We were collectively lobbied by the leaders of the Central Asian republics.

Instead of rational use of local water resources, elimination of errors in planning local water supply, and especially land reclamation, these figures began to promote the diversion of Russian rivers in unison.

Threatening disruptions in their regions of the implementation of national economic plans with "serious for the whole country social and, possibly, internal political consequences" in the same regions.

And the Politburo did not dare to conflict with all the heads of the Central Asian republics at once, including Kazakhstan.

I do not exclude that corruption "threads" from that region to the leading Soviet structures also contributed to the 1968 decision. "


From the VO dossier.
M.Z. Saburov was an advisor to I.V. Stalin on economic issues at the Yalta and Potsdam conferences of the allies (1945), headed the commission of the Council of People's Commissars (Council of Ministers) of the USSR on reparations in Germany and Austria 1945-1948.
In 1958-1966. - Director of heavy machine-building factories for the processing of plastics in the city of Syzran (Kuibyshev region).
Withdrawn from the Central Committee of the CPSU in 1961 for criticizing the decision of the 1961nd Congress of the CPSU (XNUMX) to remove the sarcophagus with Stalin from the mausoleum.
Honorary Member of the Albanian Party of Labor (1961-1991).
Since 1967 - retired republican (RSFSR) value.



It is interesting that Sergei Zalygin (1913–2000), a famous Russian writer, ecologist, and reclamation engineer, had a similar opinion:

“The transfer of rivers would cause indefinite and, moreover, irreparable damage to the economy, social sphere, and all components of the biosphere in vast regions of Russia.

And the problem of water shortage in Central Asia is being solved through the introduction of water-saving technologies, integrated development of water resources in that region. "

The background of those projects was, according to the accurate assessment of the writer, still

“And the fact that, if the projects were carried out, the ministries of land reclamation and water management of the USSR and the RSFSR, they would begin to master huge amounts of money.

They would have sufficed them for ten years.

In pursuit of such money, they went to lie, forgery and speculation, as well as to "link" with the Central Asian authorities.

In those departments, they only thought about how to quickly get such a huge amount of money for the "transfer" and use it.

Moreover, those departments had, in general, up to 200 organizations, and they have at least two million employees. "

Radioactivity? Forget


As for the aforementioned explosion in the Perm region, with its "help" a channel 700 m long and 380 m wide, with a depth of 11-15 meters, was formed. Due to the fall of the ground, a wide parapet was formed around the canal.

In the future, the project, we repeat, did not come true. But a lake appeared in the bed of that channel. It is called that:

"Nuclear".

Despite the "name", the lake remains a popular fishing spot. And the shores are still popular with mushroom pickers (see Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, Amsterdam (NLD), 2011, Vol. 102; 2012, Vol. 109).

In the summer of 2009, the St. Petersburg Research Institute of Radiation Hygiene named after V.I. Ramzaeva conducted a study of radiation pollution in the area of ​​those explosions.

Dots with an increased background of gamma radiation were found, caused mainly by the isotopes of cesium - 137Cs and cobalt - 60Co. Isotopes of niobium - 94Nb, europium - 152Eu and 154Eu, bismuth - 207Bi, and also americium - 241Am (a product of beta decay of plutonium - 241Pu) were also found in the area of ​​the explosion.

According to this research institute, in 1979 the calculated dose rate of gamma irradiation in the same place was 95% due to the contribution of cobalt - 60Co. In 2039, it will be mainly (90%) provided by cesium - 137Cs.

Such estimates are indirectly confirmed by the National Association of Oil and Gas Services (RF). According to her data dated May 27, 2019, in the same area of ​​the Perm Territory

"In some areas, an increased level of radioactive radiation is still recorded."

Without any explanation.

At the same time, this output is kind of mixed:

"In general, the background radiation is within the normal range there."

Well, very laconic pragmatism ...

    "The turn of the Siberian rivers" is just a beautiful name. Nobody was going to unfold any rivers, because it is physically impossible (at least until fantastic technologies of terromorphization become a reality, and before that, as before the Moon, cancer). It was supposed to transfer water. In Siberia, there is indeed a surplus of them due to the permafrost territories. If such a project could be implemented, the Central Asian republics and Siberia itself would have won. But, as I said above, while terramorphic technologies do not work. Under the Soviet Union, they tried to adapt a peaceful atom for this business, but quickly realized that this was not an option - and the work was curtailed. Which, incidentally, speaks of the complete adequacy of the Soviet leadership. And in the days of Marked and Co., they fanned hysteria by making a bogeyman out of the project, a horror story from the series: "Just look at these commies with a cold all over your head! No, you need to throw them off, and put capitalism in their place." Well, they did. Now, in general, there are no serious projects, in any direction - not to mention the real work on the implementation of these projects. Only balls, like Rogozinsky "in five years we will fly to Mars, here she is."

              Calm down, please. You can read, for example, about the explosion "Globus-1".

              "One of the explosions, Globus-1, was made on September 19, 1971 in the Kineshemsky district of the Ivanovo region. Residents of the nearby village of Galkino (located 4 km from the explosion site) were confronted with the fact that in this place they would search for oil with the help of an underground explosion. People were asked to cross-seam the windows and go outside at the right time. The charge was laid in a well drilled in the summer at a depth of 610 meters, but the calculations were wrong. After the explosion, hot gases, water, contaminated sand and clay escaped. Part of the radioactive water An attempt was made to drill an exploration well in this place, as a result of which liquid and gases were released again. The well was drowned out and a sign of a restricted area was placed within a radius of 450 meters. In 1977 a year ago, the contaminated soil was bulldozed and dumped into drilling fluid pits along with contaminated clothing and materials. "

                  Please do not be lazy, but look for more materials about these explosions. What do you think, if a part of the radioactive products from an explosion falls into the surrounding area and gets into the water - will there be consequences? They wrote, of course, that "Unsuspecting villagers used a bulldozer, a water pump, generators, even parts of ground structures abandoned on the spot, collected mushrooms and berries near the explosion site. Soon two boys died of" meningitis " Is there oil. Once a cow gave birth to a two-headed calf, and women began to suffer from miscarriages and premature births. In terms of blood diseases and oncology, the region quickly became the leader. " But you understand, there is no documentary evidence and no one has seriously studied the consequences of the explosions. The program was just curtailed quietly ...

I wrote to you that the explosions had consequences, in the form of the ingress of radioactive products into the water and onto the territory. After that, you took the position "Well, no one died in the very explosion" ... You know, something seems not like "The forest is being cut - the chips are flying" and "And what is this?" ...

As it was recorded, it is not written in the article. And part of the explosion products, as you rightly noted, falls out of the atmosphere sooner or later.

                    In principle, everything we are talking about here without calculated data is about nothing. When the decision on explosions was made, the mathematical calculations of the theoretical foundations of physicists were taken into account, most likely the physicists were mistaken somewhere, as a rule, mathematicians believe correctly.

                      as a rule, mathematicians count correctly. Practice has put everything in its place.

                      The force of a nuclear explosion cannot be accurately calculated, for example, during the first test of a thermonuclear bomb on Novaya Zemlya, the force of the explosion greatly exceeded the calculated values. Much depends on the manufacture of the charge. Two identical bombs can explode in different ways and the pollution from them will be different, the less the force of the explosion, the more pollution.

      NOT. The consequences of this at that time were not calculated at all, primarily because there was not even the possibility of this miscalculation, and the first sane assessments of this project began to be given strictly later - in the 90s, and then more or less roughly. In general, at least approximately it began to be used only from the 90s, all calculations before that were done at random! And from absolutely delusional premises.
      Look, for example, you mean that permafrost is a closed system. This is not the case. You remove the "excess" of water from there, what do you get? The first step is to change the environment, the permafrost will disappear from there, and what will come without water? Arctic DESERT. And this will give you climate change, and not micro or meso, but MACROCLIMATE.
      There is the most "humane forecast" - the complete extinction of the basins of the former rivers (this is not where the channel, but the catchment area, 1,5 million km in a square near only the Irtysh) and completely saline, and also extinct Central Asia. This is just the beginning, then the climate will change, first of all, precipitation (did you think you took the water away, but it will snow from somewhere?) Over all Siberia - and further to the Pacific Ocean, there is no Urals on the way. And then the European part of the snot will fly. True, first the Caucasus will wash away to the devil with this thrown over water.

                    The way to achieve the goal ... Well, this is a debatable question - delusional or not delusional. However, given that the USSR abandoned the project in the end, the discussion turns out to be pointless from the outset.

          Estimate the volume. I will give you the same permafrost - you have removed water from, roughly speaking, the surface layer. In the next warm season, your permafrost is warmed to a greater depth - there is less water, the heat capacity of the soil is less, it warms up deeper, the water leaves from a greater depth. This is just for you to count, and everything is georeferenced. And also to the fact that the soil is different everywhere. And its composition, heat capacity, water cut or the factor of heat supplied per unit area is different.
          Dry soil, less water - your phytocenosis began to degrade, the bare soil floated first from water erosion, then flew away from the wind, carried away by the wind. These are two more models for you. Both are again georeferenced.
          So, you have three models of atasa, which you need to calculate only for the first summer of drainage. Then winter will come, everything will go in the reverse order, but count already taking into account wind and water erosion. and degradation of the plant community. on this all, superimposing also reduced precipitation.

It's only for Greta that everything is simple - everything is lost, we will all die if cows around the world are not slaughtered. As he says - well, just as he cuts off, and there is no need for highlighter. And here is a simple, relatively, calculation, and this is all preparatory, the water itself has not yet been counted.

      Radioactive particles soon after the explosion spread to Finland and Sweden, where it was quickly recorded. And this was a violation of the Moscow Treaty Banning Nuclear Testing in Three Environments.

      1. Each of the Parties to this Treaty undertakes to prohibit, prevent and not carry out any test explosions of nuclear weapons and any other nuclear explosions in any place under its jurisdiction or control: ...
      b) in any other environment, if such an explosion causes a fallout of radioactive fallout outside the territorial boundaries of the State under whose jurisdiction or control such an explosion is carried out.

      I didn’t know, it turns out “from 1965 to 1988 the state program“ Nuclear explosions for the national economy ”was being implemented in the USSR. A total of 124 peaceful nuclear explosions were made, of which 117 were outside special test sites. 80 explosions fell on the territory of Russia, the rest - in the Kazakh, Turkmen, Uzbek, Ukrainian SSR.

      Me too. Another confirmation of the "national characteristics"!
      I only disagree with the fact that "it was done in the Soviet way." This was done in an anti-Soviet way, since it contradicted the Soviet laws of planned and scientifically grounded economic management. The author correctly cited the opinion of Saburov, who also hinted at the corruption component of the projects. It was, so to speak, "the first bell" of the future rasshrenachivaniya of the whole country ..... In the "country of slaves, the country of masters", where instead of law, corruption and personal interest to the detriment of the country, this is the only way everything is done.

    Indeed, as in "Ogonyok" in 1988 he plunged. What does the opinion of the writer Zalygin have to do with the diversion of part of the runoff of the northern rivers? Only despite the fact that he once received a diploma of an ameliorator, then, supposedly, he understands? And the fact that Karaganda uses part of the Irtysh flow, and nothing has changed in the north, how is that? There was an opportunity to save the Aral Sea, but they did not. And now that's it.

    "In 2039, it will be mainly (90%) provided by cesium - 137Cs."
    the logic is not entirely clear that everything is so scary .. The half-life of cesium is 30 years .. 2039 years will pass in 68 ... that is. about 20% will remain .. in addition, this is not Chernobyl and initially there were several times less radioactive isotopes ..
    those. I don't see anything catastrophic .. especially since even now- "in general, the background radiation is within the normal range».
    Although, to put it mildly, the "Peaceful Atom" program was not the smartest decision, it is extremely stupid to argue ... (250 "peaceful" explosions on the territory of the USSR, including, for example, the Stavropol Territory and many other regions) ..

      Industrial nuclear explosions were carried out in Alaska, detonated in Nevada.
      I want to say that almost all the nuclear explosions of the USSR were successful. Basically, this is the study of mineral resources and the intensification of oil and gas production.
      Three explosions were actually research explosions. Although even from the explosion in Kazakhstan "Chagan" it was clear that land-based industrial nuclear explosions are a dead end (and in fact, during explosions at a shallow depth, all nuclear rubbish is still thrown into the atmosphere).
      The creation of underground storage facilities for oil and gas with the help of the atom also ended in failure - radiation and the unstable behavior of voids with collapse of the vault.

    Recently, almost all of the site authors have been creating exclusively in the genre of throwing on a manure spreader.
    Since the 60s, many countries have been using nuclear and thermonuclear charges for non-military purposes.
    The first was the United States, which began working on various projects in 1959. In 1961, the Operation Plowshare program was launched. As part of the program, it was supposed to use nuclear explosions to expand the Panama Canal, build a canal through Nicaragua, create reservoirs and oil storage facilities, and gas production.
    In total, within the framework of the program, 27 nuclear explosions were carried out on the territory of the United States.
    In addition to nuclear, it was planned to use thermonuclear charges. In particular, Project Chariot envisioned the creation of an artificial harbor in Alaska using several thermonuclear charges.
    All programs in the United States were curtailed in 1977.
    Nevada still has the world's largest artificial crater, formed during the Sedan explosion in July 1962. The volume of the dumped soil is 12 tons.

    In the early 70s, a project was developed in Germany to build a canal from the Mediterranean Sea to the Qattara depression in the Libyan desert. The project provided for 213 explosions with a capacity of one to one and a half megatons.
    In Australia, options for the development of iron ore deposits using nuclear explosions were being worked out.
    So the USSR was not the first, and not the only one in this matter.

    I was in the 86th year in the Cherdyn region. The kid was still visiting a friend in his homeland. So his uncle told how they looked at these explosions from the roof. But he said that the stripping work was carried out. But it turns out that they tried to carry out the transfer of rivers. And there were problems with fish even then without explosions. All river beds for many meters were covered with drifts from free rafting.
    And in the south of the Perm Territory, at about the same time, RP (formation fracture) was carried out with the help of a vigorous explosion for the sake of stimulating oil inflow at the existing fields. Therefore, there are radiation monitoring services for oil workers. Now all of this is owned by LUKoil.

        Zalygin did everything to make the USSR collapse into a number of hostile states. What environmental damage from water intake for Karaganda? And the fence has been going on for about 40 years. There was nothing to promote these "writers", who did not hold anything heavier than a fountain pen in their hands.

    River diversion, especially through nuclear explosions, is, of course, nonsense. But it is still necessary to save the waters of Asia. I believe that it is possible to water the Syr Darya again, make the Amu Darya navigable and re-pour the Aral. Or even a canal with the Caspian Sea. Otherwise, dust storms from there will continue to threaten southern Russia. That is, the considerations are the most practical, without idiocy like free support for Central Asian dictatorships.

    and the fact that if the projects were carried out, the ministries of land reclamation and water management of the USSR and the RSFSR, they would start to use just huge amounts of money.

    They would have sufficed them for ten years.
    Well, what to take with a liar hack? In principle, he cannot have shame and conscience ... For a "specialist-meliorator" it may be a little strange, but we are talking about the USSR. In which there was such a special system, socialism was called. And in this system there were some features that the mind of the "writer" apparently could not master in any way.
    Yes, the ministries would receive a gigantic order. And a huge amount of "money". A small detail is that these were not the oligarchs of modern Russia who receive state money and steal it, as well as spend it freely on their Wishlist, getting off with various rubbish for the report. In the USSR, non-cash played a completely different role than money is playing now, no matter how difficult it is to imagine this for all kinds of "experts".
    All this money would have gone, suddenly, to the cause. To work. What would the leadership of the ministries get? Their salary would not have increased. It was simply impossible to steal something and not sit down. The heads of the ministries would have got an ADDITIONAL MOUNTAIN OF WORK. Monstrous mountain. A hell of a job. At the same time, no matter what the oak-like hack thought to himself, the lack of money in the ministries for such a project did not mean that they would disappear at all) They would have continued working (and the management would have received their salaries). Yes, a certain amount of all sorts of "deficits" would have grown. And for the sake of this, take on a project that threatened a heart attack in a couple of years? Hehe ...
    If you understand nothing, absolutely nothing about what you are writing about, they will notice it. Apparently this fact also did not catch on the smooth surface of the brain of this "writer".
