PODGORICA, April 4 (Hina) - Cape Arza on the Lustica Peninsula at the entrance to the Bay of Boka is contaminated with much more depleted uranium than suspected before the start of decontamination activities, said nuclear physics
professor Perko Vukotic, who heads a Montenegrin government commission for the decontamination of Cape Arza, near the Yugoslav-Croatian border. Depleted uranium has been discovered on as many as 60 locations. Decontamination experts have collected 60 depleted uranium bullets and about 1,000 kilograms of contaminated soil. According to Vukotic, NATO projectiles (used during the 2000 NATO attacks on Yugoslavia) fell on a much wider area than suspected, which is why decontamination activities will last longer than planned. Vukotic added the cape would be decontaminated by early May.(hina) rml
