     RUSSIAN  EXPERTS  RECKON  THAT  UKRAINE  CANNOT KEEP NUCLEAR
AMMUNITION PROPERLY
     This  was  told by Grigory Karasin, director for information
and  press  of the Russian Federation, at a briefing at the press
center of the Russian foreign ministry in connection with reports
about  the  disturbing situation at a depot of nuclear ammunition
near  the  Ukrainian  city  of  Pervomaisk.  A  group  of Russian
specialists  in  mid-September  carried  out  inspection  of this
depot.  The have made a conclusion that because this depot is 6-8
times  overloaded,  the interior temperature has increased by one
degree  with a rise in the radioactive background. The filling of
the depot which exceeds the norms is a potential threat. Besides,
experts  reckon that maintenance of the ammunition is bad, one of
the reason being absence of spare parts.
     The  commission  reckons  that  nuclear  warheads  which are
withdrawn  off  duty should be immediately sent to enterprises of
the ministry of atomic energy for dismantling and utilization.
