Russia's Nuclear Missile Tests Spark Fears in Arctic

Russia is about to test a new type of missile called Burevestnik, which is powered by a nuclear reactor, giving it a long range.

This missile, also known as Skyfall, is designed to be hard to detect.

Experts worry about the tests because they could release dangerous radiation into the air.

The tests are happening near Novaya Zemlya, and countries like Norway and the U.S. are keeping a close eye on the situation.

The U.S. is using special planes to watch for any signs of radiation.

The missile has been in development for many years and has had some problems in past tests.
