| The Next Nuclear Incident? |
| 2017-02-20 |
| President Tump's next National Security Adviser will have to hit the ground running. Along with the litany of issues already on the plate, the new NSA may also inherit a nuclear incident involving Russia. And we're not referring to Vladimir Putin's on-going efforts to expand his nation's nuclear arsenal, including the recent cruise missile deployment that violated the INF treaty. According to various media outlets, Moscow deployed the SSC-8 missile system last December, during the waning days of the Obama Administration. While President Obama and his advisers were aware of the deployment, they did not respond, pushing that responsibility off on Mr. Trump and his fledgling national security team. While the SSC-8 has the range to threaten European capitals and NATO bases from launch positions in Russia, it may not represent the most immediate nuclear issue. Over the past month, there have been indications that Moscow may conducted some sort of small-scale nuclear test, probably in the Arctic Region, or suffered a reactor mishap in the same area. A French nuclear safety institute recently released a summary of radioactive material detected across the continent. |
