      1 April 1996 (Reuter) - Mordechai Vanunu, jailed by
Israel for spilling some of its closest guarded nuclear
secrets, has said he has still more classified information
which he will make public at his first opportunity, Israel
said. An Israeli court convicted the former nuclear technician
in 1986 of espionage and treason, sentencing him to 18 years
in jail for giving the London Sunday Times smuggled
photographs of the Jewish state's ultra-secret Dimona nuclear
complex.

      1 April 1996 (Reuter) - Chernobyl-style nuclear reactors
in the former Soviet Union pose a massive safety risk and a
far greater danger than other atomic power plants, the United
Nations nuclear agency said. Nearly 10 years after the world's
worst nuclear disaster at Chernobyl killed thousands and
spewed radiation over most of Europe, 15 so-called RBMK
graphite-moderated reactors still operate in the former Soviet
Union.

      31 March 31 (UPI) - Doctors on a small Scottish island
claim that a rise in local cancer cases could be due to people
eating food contaminated after the accident at the Chernobyl
nuclear plant in 1986, media reports said Sunday. Cases of
cancer on the island of Benbecula have tripled in the past 18
months, prompting calls from doctors for an immediate
investigation.
