Students bound for Chernobyl
NZPA-Reuter Moscow Nine thousand students have volunteered to work near the damaged Chernobyl nuclear power station during the northern summer, said the Soviet Communist Party newspaper, “Pravda,” yesterday.
The volunteers were among detachments of students who pledged at the start of the latest fiveyear plan <1986 to 1990) to do construction work and production worth 1.5 billion roubles ($4 billion dollars). Soviet authorities announced on Saturday that the Chernobyl nuclear accident had cost the national economy two billion roubles ($5.3 billion) in direct losses.
They said radioactive contamination had affected 1000 sq km of land round the power plant, in the Ukraine 130 km north of Kiev.
