Senior managers of Russian state-owned company Gidropress and two top atomic energy engineers have reportedly been among the victims of the recent Russian air crash.
A Tu- 134 passenger plane carrying 52 on board crashed near Petrozavodsk airport in Russia's northern republic of Karelie on Monday.

Thanks very much for that, FirstClassSkeptic. Here's an extract---

... Gidropress' senior officials along with several other officials from three Russian nuclear companies were to attend a meeting in Petrozavodsk city, Ria Novosti News Agency reported on Tuesday.

Gidropress is a subsidiary of the Russian nuclear export agency Rosatom.

The flight came to an unscheduled ending about 15 kilometers from the airport. Its fuselage caught fire and was destroyed. ...

I like that phrase 'an unscheduled ending'. It seems most, but not all, of the passenger's lives came to 'an unscheduled ending'.

Here's an extract from a fuller report from a Swedish source (in English)--
http://www.newspepper.su/news/2011/6/21/in-tu134-plane-crash-killed-three-employees-of-nuclear-companies/

Among those killed in the crash of Tu-134 near Petrozavodsk June 21 [2011] were representatives of three nuclear power companies. On it informs RIA Novosti news agency referring to the source of "Rosatom".

This is an EDB "Hydropress" OKBM Africantov name and company "Atomenergomash". It is reported that "Hydropress" in the crash lost almost all leadership: on the plane were killed director - general designer Sergey Ryzhov, Chief Designer Nikolai Trunov and deputy director of the company Nikolai Banyuk.

Also on the list who died named chief technology OKBM Africantov Andrey Trofimov and the head of "Atomenergomash" Valery Lyalin. All members of the nuclear companies were sent on to a meeting to be held in "Petrozavodskmash".

I did a bit of Googling on Petrozavodsk and found a link to huge Las Vegas meeting - More than 1,200 companies from all sectors of the industry exhibit each year and more than 19,000 attendees come together at POWER-GEN International.
http://www.power-gen.com/index.html
Maybe a reader in or near Las Vegas could go and ask questions!

By Googling on 'Petrozavodsk nuclear power conference' I found information on the conference, which is (was?) scheduled for 3rd - 10th July this year, 2011. http://www.krc.karelia.ru/ is in Russian, with an English link; but there's no sign of the conference that I could find, though I found a downloadable booklet in English http://www.krc.karelia.ru/doc_download.php?id=97&table_name=event... In fact, I'll give the full text of it; maybe someone will recognise names, or identify some spurious science topics, or identify possible Jewish controllers ---

(I think this is the conference, though it seems all aimed at 'juniors' - perhaps there was another conference for the bosses?

More on Russian Conferences - this one is Pugwash

6th Workshop in Pugwash Series:
The Future of the Nuclear Weapons Complexes of Russia and the USA
28 May - 1 June, 2000
St. Petersburg - Petrozavodsk, Russia
http://www.pugwash.org/reports/nw/nw8b.htm

Pugwash was set up just after WW2, attracting the attention of e.g. Bertrand Russell. From memory, it was clearly a phoney, as it never investigated Hiroshima/Nagasaki, or the Jewish connection between USA/USSR.

Curiosities include not mentioning e.g. India and Pakistan and Israel - it only mentions 'the five traditional nuclear powers'! I presume the fifth is China. There's also a great deal of material on chemical wastes, all of course irrelevant to the nuclear issue. In fact I'd suggest the 'nuclear weapons' fraud has been used for decades as a way to handle disposal of toxic and dangerous chemical wastes. See the article on our site China. Thorium-Based Nuclear Power a Toxic Dump?

It seems to be more of a conference on metallurgy than nuclear power. I only see one lecture there on the fundamentals of thermonuclear reactors.

They seem to be concerned with effects of hydrogen on metals, mostly, and maybe on a few other materials. Then a few of the lectures seem to be discussing perhaps the storage of hydrogen; like maybe for hydrogen power? Then there's three lectures on plasma.

The Russian atomic experts killed in this attack included lead designers Sergei Rizhov, Gennadi Benyok, Nicolai Tronov and Russia's top nuclear technological expert, Andrei Tropinov, all of whom worked at Iran’s Bushehr Nuclear Plant after the contract for the plant's construction passed from the German Siemens company to Russian hands.

Even with the catastrophic loss of these top nuclear experts, however, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov announced on Monday that the Bushehr Nuclear Plant will begin operations in early August, and which the Saudis greatly fear due to Iran’s being able to manufacture atomic bombs once this project is complete.

'.. killed in this attack...' -- I looked at your link to check. Originally it was described as a plane crash; now it was 'an attack' by bomb(s)! Hm. The article claims there's a Saudi-Israel alliance, which of course is credible as they are similar states - artificially created, and artificially propped up but with the huge difference that once has a huge natural resource. Both fear democracy and fear equity. On the other hand, maybe there isn't an alliance at all - I can't see any reason why just one could be attacked singly, and not the other. Maybe Iran is in the process of discovering its nuclear plant isn't what it was cracked up to be? Or maybe it already knows, and the Russians were going to brief them? Or maybe it knows, and the Russians were going to hoodwink them?

Tip: If you're a nuclear engineer, maybe you should travel on your own, and write out what you know and hide it somewhere, with instructions for post-death recovery of it? Something like the Andrei Tropinov Code? - Dan Brown, get to work!

It would seem that the real reason they want you to show ID to get on an airplane is not for security reasons, but so they know which airplane you are on in case they want to kill you.

Yes, Sorcha is saying the plane was exploded. I don't catch why. She also has the unusual theory that the USA is really allied with Iran. Of course, 'unusual' doesn't mean 'untrue'.
