Prophet Zacharia Posted June 4, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 4, 2020 “A major fuel spill in Siberia has prompted Russian President Vladimir Putin to declare a state of emergency in an environmentally sensitive Arctic region after publicly scolding local authorities for what he said was a botched response. A fuel tank at a power plant ruptured Friday in Norilsk — above the Arctic Circle in north-central Russia — leaking at least 20,000 tons of diesel fuel into the nearby Ambarnaya River. Satellite images showed large swaths of the waterway contaminated from the spill.” I feel it has to be bad for Putin to have admitted it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kzoo Posted June 4, 2020 Share #3 Posted June 4, 2020 Does 20,000 tons sound better than 3,458,000 barrels of diesel fuel? Does is does it sound better than 145,236,000 gallons of diesel fuel. I think they need @KrAzY's help cleaning that up. He got the 'sperience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted June 4, 2020 Share #6 Posted June 4, 2020 Damn that’s a huge environmental impact. As a fisherman I wonder how many grayling, trout, & salmon will perish. Then the aquatic insects, birds & other wildlife that rely on the river for life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted June 5, 2020 Share #10 Posted June 5, 2020 There's a good article in English in the Siberian Times. 60km long Ambarnaya River flows into Lake Pyasino; the Pyasina River outflows this lake into the Kara Sea, part of the Arctic Ocean.

Hydrocarbon fuels are burned by weight not volume. For example gasoline takes about 14.7 pounds of air for each pound of gasoline. It's just easier to measure a liquid by gallons.

Been following it a little.. my suggestion is to just light it on fire right about now... there is nothing they can do now they have not tried... it's getting too late for it to be cleaned, and it will just mostly settle on the bottom of the rivers and teams.
