Russia used the nuclear weapon in 2011

Various authors mention that the contamination due the Fukushima disaster is comparable to (or greater than) that due to the Chernobyl disaster. On the other hand, at Chernobyl, the nuclear fuel used to burn out into the atmosphere, while at Fukushima it seems to remain confined; so the contamination should be several orders of magnitude smaller. This article suggests a hypothesis to explain the strong disagreement in the estimates.

Preface
The hypothesis below is scientific, it is an attempt to interpret the contradictory publications. This is scientific concept, and it should not be treated as a claim that Russian goverment wage a nuclear war against Japan. The cplleagues are invited to suggest an alternative hypothesis that would describe the observable publications. The blames about insufficient political correctness of this hypothesis should be addressed to Sergej Kirienko , Nataliya Mironova and Aleksander Shumsky who had committed statements, that can be interpreted in favor of such a hypothesis.

Introduction
The article Who contaminates Japan mentions the excess of the radioactive contamination in March, 2011 in compare to that one could expect due to the catastrophe at the Fukushima nuclear plant; and the Russian base at the island Shikotan is considered as one of possible sources of the contamination. Here, the alternative hypothesis is considered.

This article describes the following hypothesis: The huge 10m tsunami and the radioactive contamination (similar to the Chernobyl disaster and usually attributed to the catastrophe at the Fukushima nuclear plant) were caused by the under-sea explosion of the Russian device(s) of class similar to the "tsar-bomba" ; the explosion cold be synchronized to the strong shock caused by the natural tectonic activity. In order to confirm or to negate this hypothesis, below are suggested the rough estimates of the orders of magnitude of the relevant quantities.

Rough estimates
The nuclear device of class "Tzar-bomb" of energy of order of \(100\) megaton of the trinitrotholuol equivalent may deliver the energy of order of \(W \approx 10^{16}\) J to the hot bubble created. (1 kg of TNT is considered as an equivalent of \(4.184×10^6\) J.) At the under-bottom explosion, this bubble pushes the sea-bottom ground, the water, and then, roughly, its volume is limited by the atmospheric pressure \(P \approx 10^5 \rm J/m^3\). This volume can be estimated as \(V\approx W/P \approx 10^{11} \rm m^3\). This counts several cubic kilometers. Assume that the bubble is distributed at the area of size of order of 30 km - this is depth of the epicenter of the earthquake reported. Then, the horizontal size of the bubble may be of order of \(R^2 \approx 10^9 \rm m^2\). This gives the rough estimate for the altitude \(H\) of the tsunami in vicinity of the epicenter, id set, \(H = V/R^2 = \frac{W}{P R^2} = \rm \frac{10^{16}}{10^5 \times 10^9} \rm m = 100m\). At so thick layer, the pressure below should be an order of magnitude higher, than the atmospheric pressure; to, the more realistic estimate \(h\) of the the tsunami height \(h\) should be an order of magnitude lower, id set, \(h\approx H/10 \approx 10\rm m\). At the expansion from spot of size of order of 30km (depth of the quake) to the ring of size of 300 km (scale of distance to the coast), the altitude decreases for an or order of magnitude (say, till one meter), but this loss is compensated by the sharpening typical for waves approaching the coast. The oder of magnitude of 10 meters corresponds to the size of tsunami 2011 March 11 reported.

Verification
The hypothesis above explains the following facts:

1. Extensive radioactive contamination (registered not only at Japan, but also at the West coast of the USA and Canada), that exceeds the amount of radiation one could expect due to the leak from the Fukushima reactor(s) for orders of magnitude.

2. The match of the main trend of the fit of the contamination for March 14-21 with the epicenter of the earthquake 2011 March 11: 38.322°N, 142.369°E

3. The insulting declarations and menaces by the Russian representatives.

Conclusions
The hypothesis about application of the nuclear weapon by the Russian Federation in March, 2011 agrees with the Russian Nuclear Doctrine and other published estimates.

I suggest that the international organizations analyze the hypothesis above and interrogate the representative of the Russian Federation (in particular, Sergej Kirienko, Nataliya Mironova and Aleksander Shumsky in order either to confirm or to negate such a hypothesis.
