Criminal case against Mayak
According to Gazeta, Deputy Prosecutor General for the Ural District Yuri Zolotov announced the initiation of a criminal case against NPO Mayak on charges of dumping radioactive waste into the Techa River. If the information is correct, then a revolution has occurred in domestic justice: never before has the prosecutor’s office risked making claims against the all-powerful nuclear empire. Let us recall that in the 50s, an environmental disaster comparable to Chernobyl occurred at the same Mayak.
