Estonia cleans up Soviet era radioactive waste

Thats a really great news, reminding me about my first big serial of articles - about the very same pollution caused by Soviet military factory at Sillamäe - in Estonian newspaper Noorte Hääl in winter and spring 1989 - by now finally, autumn 2008 Estonia has completed the decade-long clean-up of one of Europe's most hazardous radioactive waste dumps on the Baltic coast. The project cost 21.4 million euros (28.5 million dollars) and was funded by Estonia, Nordic countries and the EU. Perched on Estonia's northeast Baltic coast close to the Russian border, the town of Sillamae was used by the Soviet Union as a closed industrial site for production of nuclear materials. Now sealed, Sillamae's radioactive waste lay just 30 metres (100 feet) from the Baltic Sea coast.
