“Forest Fires: Beware the Radioactive Fallout”
The site Arzamas-16 is threatened by forest fires since the middle of July 2010. The exact location of the storage and waste on the site is unknown. The current management of plutonium storage, enriched uranium and nuclear warheads are the subject of diverging information. The military site is in activity since 1946. For more than half a century, experiments and nuclear activities have left undeniable traces on the site (see the assembly of photos). If the fire reaches strategic and radioactive sectors this could spark a major event but also cause global contamination. The Russian government and fire fighters lack of insight to foresee the risk caused by the fires around this dangerous site and to control them is shocking.

Industry Rocking the Burrup
The Burrup peninsula is located on the Indian Ocean in the Pilbara region in North Western Australia. It is a 110 sq/km area part of the Dampier archipelago which includes 42 islands and islets mostly made up of pre-cambrian igneous rocks (i.e. lava) but also stromatolites ancient fossilised rocks some of the oldest on the earth’s surface (over 3 billion years). The Burrup is home to perhaps the World’s densest concentration of petroglyphs (engraved motifs).
