Kursk salvage begins as Russia pursues reactors and trust
After a tragic Arctic sinking, Russia launches a costly rescue to raise the Kursk. Officials outline goals to recover its reactors while proving state openness amid criticism of past secrecy. The operation, led by Mammoet, uses 26 jacks on a barge to lift the 18,000-ton submarine, with live site reports and a planned Sept 15 lift.
