      <title>Radioactive Waste on Sale! Low Price!</title>
      <link>http://www.greenpeace.org/russia/en/press/releases/1299375</link>
      <description>Москва-Амстердам. 20 августа 2007 г. Сегодня Гринпис опубликовал письмо АО «Техснабэкспорт», отвечающего в России за внешнеторговые ядерные сделки, в адрес голландской фирмы URENCO о закупке обедненного гексафторида урана (ОГФУ) по 60 центов за килограмм. Атомщики рассматривают ОГФУ как «ценнейшее» энергетическое сырье. Но, по мнению Гринпис, такая низкая цена лишний раз подтверждает, что экспорт ОГФУ – не что иное, как ввоз радиоактивных отходов в Россию.</description>
