Town Contaminated
Moscow- A Russian journalist has uncovered evidence of another soviet nuclesr
catastrophe, which killed 10 sailors and contaminated an entire town.
Yelena Vazrshaskya is the first journalist to speak to people who witnessed the explosion
of a nuclear submarine at the naval base of shkotova-22 near Vladivostock.
The accident, which occurred 13 months before the Chernobly disaster, spread
radioactive fall-out over the base and nearby town, but was covered up by officials of the
Soviet Union. Residents war told the explosion in the reactor of the Victor-class
submarine during a refit had been a thermal and not a nuclear explosion. And those
involved in the clean up operation to remove more than 600 tones of contaminated
material were sworn to secrery.
A board of investigation was later to describe it as the worst accident in the history of the
Soviet
BEIJING (AFP): China denied yesterday that any dispute existed between itself and
Indonesia over the South China Seas Natuna Island, but said it was willing to hold talks
with Jakarta to settle demarcation. (newsworthy event)
There is no dispute between China and Indonesia on possession of the Natuna Islands,
said foreign ministry spokesman Chen Jian when asked about reports of growing
concerns in Jakarta over Chinese interest in a gas-rich zone near the archipelago. (source)
Were willing to hold talks with the Indonesian side to settle demarcation of this area.
Chen added, without elaborating. China is one of the six nations which claims all or part
of the Spratly Island in the South China Sea and its interpretation of that claim includes
part of the large Indonesian maritime zone of Natuna, between Borneo and the Malaysian
Peninsula. United States oil giant Exxon signed a contract in November with the
Indonesia state owned firm Pertamina to exploit a natural gas field, 250 kilometres
northeast of Natuna, in a zone apparently claimed by China. (background event)
China has lodged no official protest over the deal. Indonesia has sent a diplomatic note to
Beijing expressing its condemn the moment it found out that the latest Chinese official
map showed Natuna as within dotted line of its boundary.
