Russia Claims Containment of Fire on Nuclear Sub 
-------------------------------------------------



Russia says it has contained a huge fire that engulfed a nuclear
submarine undergoing repairs. After hours of dousing flames with water
from helicopters and tugboats, Russian firefighters partially submerged
the vessel at a naval shipyard. Russian officials say there was no
radiation leak because the reactors had been shut down before repairs
began.
