radiation leaks...

["Tsurikov, Nick" <nick.tsurikov@iluka.com>]

Dear Radsafers,

It seems that St. Petersburg Times in Russia has just published another
interesting article (http://www.sptimes.ru/current/top/t_758.htm
<http://www.sptimes.ru/current/top/t_758.htm>  ).  As it will be on this
address until Friday those who are interested may have a look.
A couple of quotes:
>>>>>>>
Dangerous levels of radioactivity - exceeding the amount produced by 10,000
nuclear reactors - have been detected in two rivers near a western Siberian
nuclear complex, a U.S.-based nuclear watchdog said in a report issued
Thursday.
>>>>>>>
Analyses found strontium 90 in plant life along the Romashka River at 10,000
picocuries per liter, the report said. Levels above 8 per liter are outlawed
in U.S. drinking water.

Kind regards
