Explosion in Iranian military facility leaves two dead
2014-10-06
Two people died in an explosion that ripped through an explosive material production unit at a nuclear facility near Tehran, according to Iranian press reports on Monday.

The incident occurred at the Parchin military compound, not far from the Iranian capital, according to the Iranian Students News Agency.

#9  I want to know 1) was this a nuke kaboom (really small, oopsie) or 2) a really big non-nuke kaboom that spread nuclear debris all over the area?

Remember neither Chernobyl or Fukushima went "nuclear" they just spread s#it around.

#4  "an explosive material production unit at a nuclear facility"

This is at one of their totally peaceful, just for domestic energy production type of nuclear facilities?

Probably just an electrical transformer that blew.

#1  Another report states that the windows were shattered up to 12 kilometers away. That's a big boom. Wondering who could be responsible. Thanks to whomever it is.
