Date: Monday, April 24, 2000 11:29 AM
To: Senator Gaylord Nelson, April 24, 2000
Cc: US Department of Energy Secretary Richardson
Dear Senator Nelson:
Many thanks to you and Department of Energy Secretary Richardson for
championing "Clean Energy Now!" on April 22nd in Washington DC. Today is
the extended deadline for public comments to DOE on its Strategic Plan draft
so I am copying this as part of my public comments, and as an action request
for you.
I am writing you, along with others who respond in agreement with this
message, to ask you and Secretary Richardson to strongly and publicly
support "A Year for The Earth 2000-2001", ending with the initiation of
an annual "Earth Month" from the Spring Equinox (March 21, 2001)
to April 22, 2001.
This proposal was offered by the Global Peace Walk 2000 at its Earth Day
2000 event in Taos, New Mexico, to unite an effective global peace, justice,
environment, and spritual reawakening movement, on its way walking from San
Francisco to Washington DC to the United Nations for its 55th anniversary
October 24th to help inaugurate this UN Year and Decade of Creating a
Culture of Peace for the 21st Century.
The social and environmental situation in the world today is at a global
emergency level and I/we strongly urge you and the Earth Day Network to
accept this proposal to help empower the "Every Day is Earth Day" message
and the Earth Day 2000 theme of "Clean Energy Now!". This proposal was
circulated to national media and activists email lists on April 17th as
archived at http://www.egroups.com/group/global-peace-walk/324.html ,
"DOE & Earth Day Expansion Call: 'Earth Month' and 'A Year for The Earth
2000-2001'".
It is essential in today's world for the peace, social justice, and
environmental movements to unite because this global emergency condition
effects all of their related issues. We must actually make "Global Peace
Now!" into a universal human resolve, a firm resolve by all of humanity, as
the very first realistic step in order to have any hope of achieving our
goals.
We need global peace now so that the human and financial resources now
being squandered on war and the preparations for war can be redirected
towards solving critical environmental and social justice problems before
it is too late to avert an environmental catastrophe, increasing domestic
social upheaval, or even a Third World War.
Please also investigate the new clean Emerging Energy Technologies
information submitted in the last couple of weeks to DoE that is archived at
http://www.egroups.com/group/strategic-plan because these applications of
forefront science offer little know additional superior alternatives to
nuclear and fossil fuel power, as well as the remediation of nuclear wastes.
My previous CNES comments are also referenced there and include the case for
hemp relegalization and its widespread cultivation to replace the need for
deforestation and for healing the atmosphere to ameliorate global climate
change. The DOE Strategic Plan draft is at
http://www.doe.gov/strategic_plan
A good overview article of these newest Clean-Energy technologies,
co-authored by Stephen Kaplan (who you know) and Dr. Brian O'Leary, is at
http://www.connexion.org/kaplan .
Saturday on CSPAN I saw your speech of April 22nd in Washington DC on
the occasion of Earth Day 2000 where near the beginning you started one
sentence with "When I started Earth Day in 1970...".
I noted that you did not say "when the first Earth Day took place on April
22, 1970, in response to my call for a national environmental
teach-in/protest for the Earth, after John McConnell first began Earth Day
on the Spring Equinox of 1970 after making the announcement suggesting an
annual Earth Day at the October 1969 UNESCO Conference on the Environment in
San Francisco,..."
Perhaps you had more important things to say in your brief allotted time
Saturday, or perhaps I am in error in my understanding of the facts of the
matter in this regard as depicted at http://www.earthsite.org, so I wonder
what your comments might be about this historical point of fact whose
failure of your mention makes the "Earth Day Movement", that you initiated
according to Robert F Kennedy Jr's speech Saturday, seem less than fully in
accord with the truth.
The historical facts documented on that website represent a shadow on your
name as the Founder of Earth Day, even though there is no doubt that your
dedication and your call for a 1970 environmental teach-in on that April
22nd has been a major inspiration for what has become the successful global
Earth Day Network.
I would suggest that this misunderstanding may be cleared up best, and the
objectives of Earth Day best fulfilled, by your personally taking the lead
in championing this "A Year for The Earth 2000-2001" campaign for an annual
"Earth Month".
I noticed on the http://www.earthday.net website that the speakers in
Washington DC on Saturday were in the main activists, scientists, political
figures, and lawyers, with no religious or spiritual leaders listed that I
could recognize.
It seems that the original idea behind Mr. McConnell's original annual Earth
Day proposal was to also bring together people of all faiths, almost in the
spirit of a prayer for the Earth, to consider solutions to environmental
problems.
It seems to me that this is the one element that so far seems to have been
overlooked.
As a spiritual walk to bring out the prayer for "Global Peace Now!" as a
universal human resolve, the Global Peace Walk 2000 supports this idea and
hopes that you will incorporate it into the Earth Day theme by supporting
this "Earth Month" and "A Year for The Earth" proposal.
On behalf of All Life on Earth, with respect and thanks,
David Crockett Williams, C.L.U.

Ukraine Promises To Close Chernobyl
By MARINA SYSOYEVA=20
Associated Press Writer=20
http://wire.ap.org/APnews/center_story.html?FRONTID=3DEUROPE&STORYID=3DAPIS7=
437U780
CHERNOBYL, Ukraine (AP)
=97 For 14 years, Ukraine has
coped with the legacy of the
world's worst nuclear disaster
at Chernobyl =97 and the path
to recovery is still long. Now
the government is again
promising to shut the ill-fated
plant, but refuses to give a
date.=20
``Chernobyl will be closed
down,'' Prime Minister Viktor
Yushchenko pledged Tuesday night, the eve of the accident's
anniversary. He spoke after laying a wreath at a memorial to
firefighters who were among the first to combat radioactive
flames from the disaster =97 and among the first to die.=20
The pre-dawn accident on April 26, 1986 sent a cloud that
rained radiation over much of Europe and contaminated large
areas in then-Soviet Ukraine, Russia and Belarus.=20
According to Ukrainian government figures, more than 4,000 of
those who took part in the hasty and poorly organized Soviet
cleanup effort have died, and more than 70,000 Ukrainians
were fully disabled by the disaster.=20
Overall, about 3.4 million of Ukraine's 50
million people, including about 1.26
million children, are considered affected
by Chernobyl. Of them, 400,000 adults
and nearly 1.1 million children are
entitled to state aid for Chernobyl-linked
health problems.=20
But despite the terrible legacy,
Chernobyl's closure =97 long urged by
Western nations and environmentalists
the world over =97 remains uncertain.=20
The plant now has just one working
reactor, No. 3. The 1986 calamity ruined
its reactor No. 4. Another of Chernobyl's
RBMK reactors has been inactive since a
1991 fire and a third was stopped in 1996.=20
Ukraine had promised to fully close down Chernobyl by the end
of 1999, but delayed the closure until an unspecified date this
year, saying it is too strapped for energy and needs financial aid
to build two new reactors as compensation.=20
Meanwhile, pressure is mounting on
Ukraine to give a definite closure date
for what many see as the embodiment of
the evils of the atomic era.=20
``It is essential to have a date fixed,''
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright
said during a visit to Kiev this month.=20
Yushchenko, touring the plant 80 miles
north of the capital, was noncommittal
Tuesday, saying only that the date might
be released by the summer meeting of
international donors for Chernobyl.=20
The Group of Seven richest nations
promised aid in 1995 to help Ukraine
close Chernobyl, but Kiev complains the
money has been slow in coming.
Yushchenko reiterated that, asking for more support.=20
``Despite the world's good political understanding of the
Chernobyl problem, Ukraine is left alone to deal with practical
liquidation of the danger that Chernobyl represents,'' he said.=20
The government says Ukraine spent $5.7 billion to battle the
effects of the disaster during Soviet times and $5 billion since
independence in 1991.=20
Over the past year, Western money has helped Ukraine
conduct repairs on the leaky concrete and steel sarcophagus
over the exploded reactor, and workers have started to build a
nuclear waste storage facility.=20
Still, much remains to be done.=20
With the economy declining badly since the Soviet collapse,
state funding covered only an average of 51.6 percent of
Chernobyl relief needs from 1996-98. Financial constraints
forced the Cabinet to actually finance just 85 percent of
Chernobyl-linked social programs in 1999.=20
The 2000 budget allocated only $290 million of at least $830
million needed a year for social and health programs to help
Chernobyl victims, Emergency Situations Minister Vasyl
Durdynets said recently.=20
Officials say the health of affected populace is steadily
deteriorating.=20
The number of diseases among affected children is 17 percent
higher on average than among their ordinary counterparts, and
the incidence of some illnesses twice exceeds the norm.=20
A Health Ministry report released last week said thyroid cancer
among Ukrainian children has risen dramatically since the
accident. About 1,400 people who were children or adolescents
at the time of the disaster have been operated on for thyroid
cancer so far.=20
Chernobyl-related troubles are not limited to health issues.=20
The working reactor has suffered repeated shutdowns this
winter over failures at its safety valves. The government is far
from clear on what to do with about 6,000 plant workers and
their families once Chernobyl is closed. Vast areas of Ukraine
remain contaminated. Tons of nuclear fuel apparently are still
inside the sarcophagus.=20
``The Ukrainian people have performed a heroic deed during
those 14 years as they fought to contain this tragedy,''
Yushchenko said. ``Ukraine must not be left alone.''=20

Ukraine Chernobyl survivors
mark 14th anniversary
UKRAINE: April 26, 2000
http://www.planetark.org/dailynewsstory.cfm?newsid=3D6464
KIEV - About 1,500 Ukrainian survivors of the
1986 Chernobyl disaster and their families
marched through Kiev on Sunday to mark
the 14th anniversary of the world's worst
nuclear accident.=20
Umbrellas bobbed in drizzling rain among the
orange and blue flags of activist groups, as
marchers protesting against diminishing
government compensation payments waved black
banners, one of which read "Revising Chernobyl
laws is genocide of the people".
"This year's budget is offensive to the invalids,
widows and orphans of Chernobyl," the head of
the Chernobyl Union Yuri Andreyev told Reuters,
referrring to the cash-strapped government's tight
fiscal plan for 2000.
"We all know it will finish with a complete end to
the Chernobyl programme of social security."
Health officials said this week the April 26, 1986
fire and explosion at the plant's fourth reactor was
still blighting the lives and health of Ukrainians,
with some 3.5 million people sickened by
radioactive contamination.
Over a third of that number were children. United
Nations data show millions of people still live on
contaminated land in Belarus, which bore the
brunt of the disaster, and in Russia. Some parts of
Western Europe were also polluted.
The U.N. has called for the international
community, whose efforts so far have
concentrated on trying to close the last remaining
reactor at Chernobyl, to raise $9.5 million for
health and ecological projects in the impoverished
region.
"The health of people affected by the Chernobyl
accident is getting worse and worse every year,"
Deputy Ukrainian Health Minister Olha Bobyleva
told a news conference this week.
UKRAINE PROMISES CHERNOBYL CLOSURE
THIS YEAR
Ukraine has promised the international
community, fearing a repeat disaster if the
Soviet-era station keeps working, to close
Chernobyl by the end of this year but has set no
date.
It says foreign partners have not stumped up
promised funds to help close the station - a
complex and lengthy process - and complete new
reactors at other atomic stations to replace
capacity lost at Chernobyl.
Ukraine's five nuclear power plants produce about
half the nation's supply of electricity, which is in
any case erratic across most of the country due to
payment arrears and ageing infrastructure.
The Group of Seven leading industrial nations
says Ukraine must make good on its closure
promises first.
Closure also puts a large question mark over the
fate of roughly 6,000 workers who keep the station
running.
"Of course I am for closing Chernobyl but it should
have been done long ago. It's not so simple, and
God forbid there should be any accident when
they shut it down," said Nadezhda Matyash, head
of a group of mothers of children with cancer.
"Closing it takes a lot of money which we don't
have, and our foreign partners promise and
promise but don't give funds."=20

Russia Urged To Cut Fuel Leaks=20
By ANNA DOLGOV=20
Associated Press Writer=20
http://wire.ap.org/APnews/center_story.html?FRONTID=3DEUROPE&STORYID=3DAPIS7=
42TCCG0
MOSCOW (AP) =97 The oil and natural gas that Russia loses in
leaks and spills every year could provide enough energy to allow
the country to close its nuclear power plants, Greenpeace said
Tuesday.=20
The comments by the Russian, German and Dutch branches of
the environmental group came on the eve of the 14th
anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster in
Ukraine, which sent a radioactive cloud over much of Europe.=20
Russia relies heavily on its nine nuclear power plants. No major
accidents have been reported at the Russian plants and the
government says all Chernobyl-type reactors have been
modernized and are safe.=20
``We are trying to prove that ... the output of nuclear power
stations could be substituted,'' said Oganes Targulian, a
Greenpeace-Russia oil specialist.=20
Russian Nuclear Power Ministry spokesman Vladislav Petrov
was skeptical about the Greenpeace proposal.=20
``It's a bit like saying, 'Let's take the whole humankind and
transport it to a new, wonderful planet,''' Petrov said by
telephone. ``The idea is nice, but can it be realized?''=20
Between 70 million and 140 million barrels of oil are spilled in
Russia every year, out of the approximately 2.1 billion barrels
the country produces, according to government and
environmentalist estimates cited in a Greenpeace report
released Tuesday.=20
The country also loses between 210 billion cubic feet to 1.8
trillion cubic feet of natural gas in pipeline leaks every year, the
report said. Russia's annual natural gas production has hovered
around 19 trillion cubic feet the past few years, according to
government figures.=20
The exact losses are hard to estimate because some companies
underreport leaks and spills to avoid paying fines, while others
may exaggerate them to hide fuel theft, Targulian told
reporters.=20
Every year, another 630 billion cubic feet of associated natural
gas =97 a byproduct of oil fields =97 is simply burnt up because
Russian oil companies say transporting or converting it into
energy is unprofitable, Targulian said.=20
Depending on fuel leak estimates and the efficiency of power
plants, the wasted oil and gas could give Russia between 70
billion and 316 billion extra kilowatt-hours of energy every
year, according to the Greenpeace report.=20
In comparison, Russia's nuclear power plants produce 120
billion kilowatt- hours of energy annually, according to
government figures cited in the Greenpeace report.=20
Russia relies on aging pipelines, often hastily built during the
Soviet era, and patching fuel leaks would require major
upgrades. Greenpeace has not estimated the cost of renovations
needed to reduce leaks, Targulian said.

Worst Effects of Chernobyl To Come
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/i/AP-UN-Chernobyl.html
By The Associated Press
GENEVA (AP) -- The United Nations released a new
assessment of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear meltdown
Tuesday, saying the worst health consequences for
millions of people may be yet to come.=20
``At least 100 times as much radiation was released by
this accident as by the two atomic bombs dropped on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined'' at the end of
World War II, said a 32-page booklet released to mark
the 14th anniversary of the disaster.=20
Three people were killed in the explosion on April 26,
1986, and 28 emergency workers died within the first
three months, the report said. It gave no other death toll,
but noted that 106 of the other emergency workers that
were first on the scene also were diagnosed with acute
radiation syndrome.=20
And, the report said, a total of 600,000 emergency
workers who helped in the cleanup and later built a
cover to seal the destroyed reactor ``must be constantly
monitored for the effects of exposure to radiation.''=20
The booklet, published by the U.N. Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, said the three
countries most affected by the radiation -- Belarus,
Ukraine and Russia -- continue to pay the price.=20
``Chernobyl is a word we would all like to erase from
our memory,'' said U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan
in a foreword.=20
But, Annan added, ``more than 7 million of our fellow
human beings do not have the luxury of forgetting. They
are still suffering, everyday, as a result of what
happened.'' He said the exact number of victims may
never be known, but that 3 million children require
treatment and ``many will die prematurely.''=20
``Not until 2016, at the earliest, will be known the full
number of those likely to develop serious medical
conditions'' because of delayed reactions to radiation
exposure, he said.=20
Annan said response to a U.N. appeal launched three
years ago had fallen so short that the original list of 60
projects had been shortened to the nine most urgent.=20
``These nine projects could, if implemented, make a
vital difference to the lives of many people,'' Annan
said in appealing for governments and institutions to
contribute $9.5 million.=20
The projects include modernization of a hospital,
creation of a network of centers to treat children and
decontamination of schools, kindergartens and hospitals
in Belarus.=20

<div> CHERNOBYL, Ukraine (AP)</div>
<div> =97 For 14 years, Ukraine has</div>
<div> coped with the legacy of the</div>
<div> world's worst nuclear disaster</div>
<div> at Chernobyl =97 and the path</div>
<div> to recovery is still long. Now</div>
<div> the government is again</div>
<div> promising to shut the ill-fated</div>
<div> plant, but refuses to give a</div>
<div> date. </div>
<br>
<div> ``Chernobyl will be closed</div>
<div> down,'' Prime Minister Viktor</div>
<div> Yushchenko pledged Tuesday night, the eve of the
accident's</div>
<div> anniversary. He spoke after laying a wreath at a memorial
to</div>
<div> firefighters who were among the first to combat
radioactive</div>
<div> flames from the disaster =97 and among the first to die.=20
</div>
<br>
<div> The pre-dawn accident on April 26, 1986 sent a cloud
that</div>
<div> rained radiation over much of Europe and contaminated
large</div>
<div> areas in then-Soviet Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. </div>
<br>
<div> According to Ukrainian government figures, more than 4,000
of</div>
<div> those who took part in the hasty and poorly organized
Soviet</div>
<div> cleanup effort have died, and more than 70,000
Ukrainians</div>
<div> were fully disabled by the disaster. </div>
<br>
<div> Overall, about 3.4 million of Ukraine's 50</div>
<div> million people, including about 1.26</div>
<div> million children, are considered affected</div>
<div> by Chernobyl. Of them, 400,000 adults</div>
<div> and nearly 1.1 million children are</div>
<div> entitled to state aid for Chernobyl-linked</div>
<div> health problems. </div>
<br>
<div> But despite the terrible legacy,</div>
<div> Chernobyl's closure =97 long urged by</div>
<div> Western nations and environmentalists</div>
<div> the world over =97 remains uncertain. </div>
<br>
<div> The plant now has just one working</div>
<div> reactor, No. 3. The 1986 calamity ruined</div>
<div> its reactor No. 4. Another of Chernobyl's</div>
<div> RBMK reactors has been inactive since a</div>
<div> 1991 fire and a third was stopped in 1996. </div>
<br>
<div> Ukraine had promised to fully close down Chernobyl by the
end</div>
<div> of 1999, but delayed the closure until an unspecified date
this</div>
<div> year, saying it is too strapped for energy and needs financial
aid</div>
<div> to build two new reactors as compensation. </div>
<br>
<div> Meanwhile, pressure is mounting on</div>
<div> Ukraine to give a definite closure date</div>
<div> for what many see as the embodiment of</div>
<div> the evils of the atomic era. </div>
<br>
<div> ``It is essential to have a date fixed,''</div>
<div> Secretary of State Madeleine Albright</div>
<div> said during a visit to Kiev this month. </div>
<br>
<div> Yushchenko, touring the plant 80 miles</div>
<div> north of the capital, was noncommittal</div>
<div> Tuesday, saying only that the date might</div>
<div> be released by the summer meeting of</div>
<div> international donors for Chernobyl. </div>
<br>
<div> The Group of Seven richest nations</div>
<div> promised aid in 1995 to help Ukraine</div>
<div> close Chernobyl, but Kiev complains the</div>
<div> money has been slow in coming.</div>
<div> Yushchenko reiterated that, asking for more support. </div>
<br>
<div> ``Despite the world's good political understanding of
the</div>
<div> Chernobyl problem, Ukraine is left alone to deal with
practical</div>
<div> liquidation of the danger that Chernobyl represents,'' he
said. </div>
<br>
<div> The government says Ukraine spent $5.7 billion to battle
the</div>
<div> effects of the disaster during Soviet times and $5 billion
since</div>
<div> independence in 1991. </div>
<br>
<div> Over the past year, Western money has helped Ukraine</div>
<div> conduct repairs on the leaky concrete and steel
sarcophagus</div>
<div> over the exploded reactor, and workers have started to build
a</div>
<div> nuclear waste storage facility. </div>
<br>
<div> Still, much remains to be done. </div>
<br>
<div> With the economy declining badly since the Soviet
collapse,</div>
<div> state funding covered only an average of 51.6 percent
of</div>
<div> Chernobyl relief needs from 1996-98. Financial
constraints</div>
<div> forced the Cabinet to actually finance just 85 percent
of</div>
<div> Chernobyl-linked social programs in 1999. </div>
<br>
<div> The 2000 budget allocated only $290 million of at least
$830</div>
<div> million needed a year for social and health programs to
help</div>
<div> Chernobyl victims, Emergency Situations Minister Vasyl</div>
<div> Durdynets said recently. </div>
<br>
<div> Officials say the health of affected populace is
steadily</div>
<div> deteriorating. </div>
<br>
<div> The number of diseases among affected children is 17
percent</div>
<div> higher on average than among their ordinary counterparts,
and</div>
<div> the incidence of some illnesses twice exceeds the norm.
</div>
<br>
<div> A Health Ministry report released last week said thyroid
cancer</div>
<div> among Ukrainian children has risen dramatically since
the</div>
<div> accident. About 1,400 people who were children or
adolescents</div>
<div> at the time of the disaster have been operated on for
thyroid</div>
<div> cancer so far. </div>
<br>
<div> Chernobyl-related troubles are not limited to health issues.
</div>
<br>
<div> The working reactor has suffered repeated shutdowns
this</div>
<div> winter over failures at its safety valves. The government is
far</div>
<div> from clear on what to do with about 6,000 plant workers
and</div>
<div> their families once Chernobyl is closed. Vast areas of
Ukraine</div>
<div> remain contaminated. Tons of nuclear fuel apparently are
still</div>
<div> inside the sarcophagus. </div>
<br>
<div> ``The Ukrainian people have performed a heroic deed
during</div>
<div> those 14 years as they fought to contain this
tragedy,''</div>
<div> Yushchenko said. ``Ukraine must not be left alone.'' </div>

<br>
<div> KIEV - About 1,500 Ukrainian survivors of the</div>
<div> 1986 Chernobyl disaster and their families</div>
<div> marched through Kiev on Sunday to mark</div>
<div> the 14th anniversary of the world's worst</div>
<div> nuclear accident. </div>
<br>
<div> Umbrellas bobbed in drizzling rain among the</div>
<div> orange and blue flags of activist groups, as</div>
<div> marchers protesting against diminishing</div>
<div> government compensation payments waved black</div>
<div> banners, one of which read "Revising Chernobyl</div>
<div> laws is genocide of the people".</div>
<br>
<div> "This year's budget is offensive to the invalids,</div>
<div> widows and orphans of Chernobyl," the head of</div>
<div> the Chernobyl Union Yuri Andreyev told Reuters,</div>
<div> referrring to the cash-strapped government's tight</div>
<div> fiscal plan for 2000.</div>
<br>
<div> "We all know it will finish with a complete end=20
to</div>
<div> the Chernobyl programme of social security."</div>
<br>
<div> Health officials said this week the April 26, 1986</div>
<div> fire and explosion at the plant's fourth reactor was</div>
<div> still blighting the lives and health of Ukrainians,</div>
<div> with some 3.5 million people sickened by</div>
<div> radioactive contamination.</div>
<br>
<div> Over a third of that number were children. United</div>
<div> Nations data show millions of people still live on</div>
<div> contaminated land in Belarus, which bore the</div>
<div> brunt of the disaster, and in Russia. Some parts of</div>
<div> Western Europe were also polluted.</div>
<br>
<div> The U.N. has called for the international</div>
<div> community, whose efforts so far have</div>
<div> concentrated on trying to close the last remaining</div>
<div> reactor at Chernobyl, to raise $9.5 million for</div>
<div> health and ecological projects in the impoverished</div>
<div> region.</div>
<br>
<div> "The health of people affected by the Chernobyl</div>
<div> accident is getting worse and worse every year,"</div>
<div> Deputy Ukrainian Health Minister Olha Bobyleva</div>
<div> told a news conference this week.</div>
<br>
<div> UKRAINE PROMISES CHERNOBYL CLOSURE</div>
<div> THIS YEAR</div>
<br>
<div> Ukraine has promised the international</div>
<div> community, fearing a repeat disaster if the</div>
<div> Soviet-era station keeps working, to close</div>
<div> Chernobyl by the end of this year but has set no</div>
<div> date.</div>
<br>
<div> It says foreign partners have not stumped up</div>
<div> promised funds to help close the station - a</div>
<div> complex and lengthy process - and complete new</div>
<div> reactors at other atomic stations to replace</div>
<div> capacity lost at Chernobyl.</div>
<br>
<div> Ukraine's five nuclear power plants produce about</div>
<div> half the nation's supply of electricity, which is in</div>
<div> any case erratic across most of the country due to</div>
<div> payment arrears and ageing infrastructure.</div>
<br>
<div> The Group of Seven leading industrial nations</div>
<div> says Ukraine must make good on its closure</div>
<div> promises first.</div>
<br>
<div> Closure also puts a large question mark over the</div>
<div> fate of roughly 6,000 workers who keep the station</div>
<div> running.</div>
<br>
<div> "Of course I am for closing Chernobyl but it
should</div>
<div> have been done long ago. It's not so simple, and</div>
<div> God forbid there should be any accident when</div>
<div> they shut it down," said Nadezhda Matyash, head</div>
<div> of a group of mothers of children with cancer.</div>
<br>
<div> "Closing it takes a lot of money which we don't</div>
<div> have, and our foreign partners promise and</div>
<div> promise but don't give funds." </div>

<div> Russia Urged To Cut Fuel Leaks </div>

<br>
<div> MOSCOW (AP) =97 The oil and natural gas that Russia loses
in</div>
<div> leaks and spills every year could provide enough energy to
allow</div>
<div> the country to close its nuclear power plants, Greenpeace
said</div>
<div> Tuesday. </div>
<br>
<div> The comments by the Russian, German and Dutch branches
of</div>
<div> the environmental group came on the eve of the 14th</div>
<div> anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster
in</div>
<div> Ukraine, which sent a radioactive cloud over much of Europe.
</div>
<br>
<div> Russia relies heavily on its nine nuclear power plants. No
major</div>
<div> accidents have been reported at the Russian plants and
the</div>
<div> government says all Chernobyl-type reactors have been</div>
<div> modernized and are safe. </div>
<br>
<div> ``We are trying to prove that ... the output of nuclear
power</div>
<div> stations could be substituted,'' said Oganes Targulian,
a</div>
<div> Greenpeace-Russia oil specialist. </div>
<br>
<div> Russian Nuclear Power Ministry spokesman Vladislav
Petrov</div>
<div> was skeptical about the Greenpeace proposal. </div>
<br>
<div> ``It's a bit like saying, 'Let's take the whole humankind
and</div>
<div> transport it to a new, wonderful planet,''' Petrov said
by</div>
<div> telephone. ``The idea is nice, but can it be realized?''
</div>
<br>
<div> Between 70 million and 140 million barrels of oil are spilled
in</div>
<div> Russia every year, out of the approximately 2.1 billion
barrels</div>
<div> the country produces, according to government and</div>
<div> environmentalist estimates cited in a Greenpeace=20
report</div>
<div> released Tuesday. </div>
<br>
<div> The country also loses between 210 billion cubic feet to
1.8</div>
<div> trillion cubic feet of natural gas in pipeline leaks every
year, the</div>
<div> report said. Russia's annual natural gas production has
hovered</div>
<div> around 19 trillion cubic feet the past few years, according
to</div>
<div> government figures. </div>
<br>
<div> The exact losses are hard to estimate because some
companies</div>
<div> underreport leaks and spills to avoid paying fines, while
others</div>
<div> may exaggerate them to hide fuel theft, Targulian told</div>
<div> reporters. </div>
<br>
<div> Every year, another 630 billion cubic feet of associated
natural</div>
<div> gas =97 a byproduct of oil fields =97 is simply burnt up
because</div>
