Geneva
(AFP) – A highly radioactive substance, emitting in some places
radiation 100 times the permitted amount, has been discovered in
Switzerland, local media reported Sunday, adding that authorities had
covered it up for 18 months.
Swiss weeklies Le Matin Dimanche
and SonntagsZeitung reported that federal, regional and local officials
decided not to reveal the fact that they had found radium deposits in
an old dump in the town of Bienne so as not to scare the 50,000 local
inhabitants.
