A new surveillance boat will monitor radiation on the Kamchatka Peninsula, said Captain Roman Martov, a Pacific Fleet spokesman, Interfax reported.
"The boat's unique capabilities in the field of radiation and chemical surveillance, as well as in radiation and environmental monitoring and the radiation protection of hazardous facilities' personnel, have been highly praised by the commanding officers of the Kamchatka Group of Armed Forces," he said July 13.
He also said the boat would be used to assist a nuclear submarine sailing in the Pacific Ocean.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
