he Rerhevskiy uranium deposiii turned out to be poor, so4 the nuclear people left, leavingof cubic meters of raw material ia "buriall wasokenwith earth.

There were towering piles of sand-clay refuse on the bank of the Oxernayawaste, iu high level of radioactivity due to tbe residual uranium and thorium.
The nuclear people upped and left, without even giving ihe inhabiianii ofint of the implications of their legacy. The villagers set aboul removing thetaod-ctayyonerick house, plastering walla,andpit for grandchildren Construction organixations took the peaky sand away in trucks and put it oa all tbe highways ia theTbe radiation spread in patches.
In the late statics the Sverdlovsk radio equipment plant, which was settingranch in the settlement, look over the empty premises oflhe former secret facility and lhe oblast sanitary and epidemiological station was allowed to monitor production.
"We appealed io the oblast leadership on severalS.octor ai the oblast sanitary aod epidemiological station radiation hygiene department, said. "Bui they merely madenote of our deeontarni-nalion proposals."
Two yean ago some unsuspecting construction workers uncovered one of the "bursal pounds" while laying heating pipes. Oxernyy had begun the final actragedy without ever impeding it: Everyone wasrenting cottages for tbe summer, students from the Urals University "Vagant" detachment were building spacious brick houses ia the settlement, and subsidiary farming was on the increase at tbe radio equipment plant.

Conversations with the villagers revealed that R.

After all. ifOzemyy had been just once told Ihe truth about the burial places and Ihe villagers had been taught bow to take elementaryagainst the invisible calamity, would they have allowed their kids toeach on top of one of the "burialear the river, where the gamma radiation was calculatedeicToecentaeOJ per hour?

Talk about moving aad people replyrWe would not be able to Find work; we have cushy jobs here, salaries. Bui they also complain about not being able to Layecent meal and about sick children.

There is no need to wcevder why the Sverdlovsk people "forgot" about lhe kindergartenO or so families of villagers. The reason is symptomatic. Judge forThe obliipolkom first calculated the cost of deconlamination, involving ihe removal of rsdioactivc waste from thepretty expensive was the result. Evacuation, then.
