An Astute-class submarine has been lost in the Channel, from a relativistic neutron event

Various sources including the Elysée confirm that an Astute-class submarine (fast neutron reactor) has been lost in the Channel from a powerful relativistic neutron event. This is not a late April’s fools announcement but based on findings of Am241 (10 microns particle) on my foot in the beach in la pointe de la Torche. The decreasing ocean from the highwater’s descent brought it there. Waves confirm that it’s possible with a western oriented sublayer.

A 0.3 uSv/h peak in Portsmouth earlier today confirms. Very unusual peak there. They spent one full day in their inferno fighting the nuclear fire after the first internal blast (first peak early 31 March).

The event happened near the sunset, it’s very consistent with the location from South Africa of this observatory.

10 seconds duration for a peak is very high

17.4 mag for an event is quite high in usual standards

The explosion needs one day because they retain initially partial control, albeit less and less with time, on the reactor’s neutron flow.

All the crew disappeared (54 deaths according to a very reliable source). I am sorry but a reactor is never safe.

It has been confirmed by French satellites that an onboard crematory oven was utilized to get rid of the corpses of the most contaminated sailors that were sent first to fight the nuclear fire. They were cremated and it’s likely that neutrons from transmutation and fission of e.g Pu240 were strongly involved in the first blast of March 31th.

Reupdate : observations on the contaminating particle confirm through the behaviour under neutrons that it is Am241 undergoing direct fission without transmutation thanks to intermediate-speed neutrons.
