Preface
Lately, a number of home and foreign media ("Literaturnaya Gazeta", "Business
World", "Moscow News", "Segodnya", "Moscow Times", "Sunday Times", radio
company "Swedish Radio", radioTVcompany "B.B.C.", "US NEWS and WORLD
REPORT", "B.B.C. - N.H.K. CoProduction", "Coxnewspapers", "Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation", "Aftonbladet" etc.) have been discussing the problem of
a whole complex of nuclear research installations located in Moscow.
The interest to this problem was aroused by the former chief of Moscow inspectorate
for supervision over nuclear and radiation safety of the Central Okrug Administration
of the State Atomic Inspectorate of Russia V.M.Kuznetsov, a person who suspended
the running of 10 unsafe nuclear reactors on the territory of Russia on the authority
provided by his official status and who had to leave his post due to the adherence to
principles he displayed. The methods of influence applied by the officials who fired
Kuznetsov were exactly the same that were applied to dissidents at the times of
communist regime.
During 2 years, Kuznetsov has been trying to solve this problem with the Ministry of
Atomic Energy (Minatom) and State Atomic Inspectorate without any positive results.
His numerous appeals to Special Counsellor of the President of Russia on Ecological
and Health Protection matters Mr.A.V.Yablokov, the member of Presidential Council
Mrs. A.A. Yaroshinskaya and to the General Office of Public Prosecutor of Russia did
not give the desired result either. Even such public organisation as "Social-
Ecological Union" (the chairman is S.I.Zabelin) did not provide proper support.
Apart from appearing in the media, V.M.Kuznetsov prepared a number of problem
researches. Among them, there is an essay entitled "Analysis of radiation safety and
the state of storage of radioactive substances at the nuclear power engineering
facilities on the territory of the former USSR". In this essay, V.M.Kuznetsov gives
numerous examples of hazardous practice of nuclear installations "operation and
radioactive materials" storage and transportation.
