RUSSIAN RESEARCHER DIES IN NUCLEAR ACCIDENT.

Russian authorities have reportedly halted all research activities and are considering launching unspecified criminal proceedings in the wake of an accident at a top nuclear research center that left one engineer dead. Aleksandr Zakharov died three days after being exposed to a massive dose of radiation following an accident on June 17 at the All-Russian Institute of Experimental Physics — formerly known as Arzamas-16 — in the city of Sarov.
