Russian Kyshtym incident
Journal Article

OSTI ID:6055404
The author questions the validity of the scientific conclusions reported in Science, 216: 274 (April 16, 1982) on the radioactive consequences from the Soviet Rad Spill. The author rejects the conclusion that acid rain and soil composition produced the devastation of the Ural Mountains. An editor note explains the five inferred mechanisms for the accident as: nuclear explosion in a radioactive waste dump; a catastrophic release from a waste storage facility; localized fallout from atmospheric nuclear weapons tests; careless waste management coupled with a general disregard for citizenry and the environment, or explosion in fuel reprocessing plant.
