FRENCH JOURNAL: HALF MILLION KAZAKHS CONTAMINATED BY NUCLEAR TESTS.

A French health journal, Univers Sante, has reported that as least 500,000 Kazakhs were contaminated by the Soviet nuclear tests carried out in Kazakhstan between 1949 and 1989. Professor Christian Chenal, director of a Franco-Kazakh study program, told the journal that many inhabitants of villages near the test sites suffer from leukemia and cancers. (AFP, October 18)
