The risk of millions of Americans dying from an accidental nuclear attack
by a Russian submarine is rising, scientists report in Thursday's New
England Journal of Medicine. Citing what they called the steadily
deteriorating condition of Russia's nuclear command system, the study's
authors laid out a scenario of a plausible accidental attack: a single
Russian nuclear submarine launching its weapons against the U.S. Nearly 7
million people would be killed instantly from the thermonuclear explosions
in the eight cities researchers chose arbitrarily.
