A Soviet search ship photographed the hulk of a nuclear-powered submarine that sank off Norway on April 7 with the loss of 42 crew members and found no increase in radiation in the area, the Tass news agency said. The Soviet research ship Akademik Mstislav Keldysh arrived May 16 in the waters where the sub--armed with nuclear-tipped torpedoes--sank. It visually detected the wreck with the help of deep-sea exploration vehicles it carries and photographed it, Tass said.
