Croatia: Experts Dismiss Reports of 'Nuclear Waste Scandal'

Croatia's hazardous waste management agency has dismissed media reports that 
nuclear waste has been secretly buried in a mountain region in central 
Croatia.

Today's (Friday) edition of the Blick newspaper - Switzerland's largest
daily, with a readership of some 1.5 million - carried a lead article under 
the headline 'Nuclear waste scandal'.

The article claimed that investigations in the mountainous Pozeska region of 
central Croatia had shown "nature running amok", due to a "nuclear 
catastrophe of undreamt-of proportions".

Blick said: "Hens lay green eggs, piglets have eight legs, and the mushrooms 
are as large as footballs". It added that "People in Pozeska are certain" 
that nuclear waste has been buried in the region, claimed the government had 
"used all means to cover up the scandal", and stated as "fact" that 
radiation levels there were "30 times higher than elsewhere in Croatia".
