<H1>A forgotten Cold War relic in Ukraine still crackles with lethal
radiation</H1>
<P>In November, Bellona was given the unique opportunity to visit what used to
be one of the most secret places in the Soviet Union — the Pridniprovskyi
Chemical Plant in central Ukraine. Formerly the cradle of the Soviet nuclear
weapons industry, the site was shut down 30 years ago. Today, the poorly secured
artifact is the most radioactive place in Europe. This is the first in a
periodic series of articles Bellona will publish about the site. </P>
