SPIKING NEARLY 16 TIMES ABOVE
THE NORMAL
RANGE FOLLOWING THAT MYSTERIOUS
NUCLEAR EXPLOSION.
TEARSA:
THE DEATH TOLL IN THE
EXPLOSION... RISING TO SEVEN...
AS FEAR SPREADS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT CITIZENS
ARE AT RISK OF EXPOSURE
TO DANGEROUS LEVELS OF
RADIATION.
THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
SENDING MIXED SIGNALS IN THE
AFTERMATH OF THE EXPLOSION... AT
FIRST DENYING ANY FALLOUT...
THEN
SUBSEQUENTLY ORDERING THE
EVACUATION OF A TOWN NEAR THE
BLAST SITE... AND THEN CANCELING
THE EVACUATION JUST HOURS LATER.
BUT RUSSIAN METEOROLOGISTS NOW
CONFIRM THAT RADIATION LEVELS
IN THE COUNTRY HAVE SPIKED...
LEAVING MANY WORRIED ABOUT
WHAT THE GOVERNMENT ISN'T
SAYING.
KONSTANTIN FOMIN/MEDIA
COORDINATOR FOR
GREENPEACE RUSSIA: "IT'S
OBVIOUSLY NOT ON THE
CHERNOBYL SCALE BUT EVEN IF
THERE IS NO DANGER-AND I
HOPE THERE IS NO DANGER- IT IS
VERY WORRISOME THAT OUR
GOVERNMENT ACTS WITH SO LITTLE
TRANSPARENCY."
TEARSA:
RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN
HAS STILL NOT DIRECTLY
COMMENTED ON THIS LATEST NUCLEAR
DISASTER...
TEARSA:
A LOCAL RESTAURANT...
LAUNCHING A FUNDRAISER TODAY...
DOUG
