Ranier, et al:

Latest info on NERPA.....

The deaths of 20 people on board the Russian nuclear sub NERPA were caused by a crew member entering the wrong data into a temperature sensor. Dmitry Grobov is his name.

According to info obtained from the sub's Rotor data book, similar to an aircraft's black box, "the temperature increased sharply all of a sudden and the fire safety system reacted as programmed."

At the time of the incident Grobov was on a scheduled watch and the access code to the fire safety system was written in pencil on the surface of the equipment.

Former Navy officers have told RIA Novosti they doubt that Grobov was solely to
blame as it is impossible for one person to activate the system, which is protected from unauthorized activation by multiple levels of confirmation.
