*********** 091993A.ENV *********** Contributory categories: CHM Country: Japan, Russia From: Science and Technology Today August 20, 1993 p. 3 Keywords: Japan, Russia, Radioactive wastes, Ocean dumping, Marine surveys Preliminary results of a survey on the old Soviet nuclear waste dumping grounds in the Sea of Japan by the Japanese indicate no "abnormalities". Please see earlier messages in June on the location of the dump sites and the Russian reaction from Vladivostock. The Russians at the Pacific Oceanological Institute also will be monitoring the site. The concern is about the possible contamination of the fishing grounds in the Sea of Japan. Will try to get copy of the final report. ************** END Msg. A.ENV **************
