Moscow - Russia's minister for atomic energy said yesterday he saw no pressing reasons for raising the wreck of the Kursk nuclear submarine from the bottom of the Barents Sea, where it sank exactly a month ago.
Russian officials have said they would recover the 118 bodies of the crew, but the comments by Mr Yevgeny Adamov were the first indication that the submarine, powered by two nuclear reactors, might be left on the seabed.
