Plot of nuclear test locations at Semipalatinsk Test Site (STS), Kazakhstan

["Leif Peterson, Ph.D." <peterson@bcm.tmc.edu>]

The plot of undergound nuclear test locations and air bursts
(mostly at latitude 5000N longitude 7800E) at the 
Semipalatinsk Test Site (STS), Kazakhstan is complete.
The World Wide Web URL is:

If you get lost, look at URL:

http://cccr9.med.bcm.tmc.edu

and it's up front.

Personal impressions: if the data are true, then there
could be higher-than-usual environmental contamination
with radionuclides.  Keep in mind that Semipalatinsk
is a city of about 450,000, with about 1 million
people in the area.

With best regards,
