Bellona

Description:A science-based environmental organization which strives to combat problems of environmental degradation, pollution-induced dangers to human health and the ecological impacts of economic development strategies. Although Bellona Web has many articles on other topics of environmental and humanitarian concern, the lion's share of Bellona's work is dedicated to putting the threat constituted by Russian nuclear waste deposits and discarded nuclear reactors on the international agenda. The nuclear threat from the Northwest Russia is a result of the cold war and the economical defeat of the Soviet times. Dilapidated nuclear submarines and overloaded nuclear deposits are spread around the Northwest Russia like time bombs. Bellona's work on the mapping of these threats has broke fresh ground, and is highly respected internationally.
