		The office of the Bellona Foundation in Murmansk, a Norwegian non-governmental environmental organisation working on environmental problems in Russia, as well as several residences of Bellona personnel and their contacts in Murmansk, St. Petersburg and Severodvinsk, were raided by the Russian security police, the FSB (the former KGB), last October 5-12.

		Bellona demanded that the FSB immediately return all papers and documents, as well as personal belongings (diaries dating back to their owners' schooldays, passports, money etc.) the latter had confiscated and make an official apology.

		The Bellona Foundation was founded after the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl in Ukraine in 1986.
		According to Bellona, the Kola Peninsula and Severodvinsk, where the Russian Northern Fleet is located, have the highest concentration of nuclear reactors, active and derelict, in the world, and: compared to the Mururoa-incidents and even the Chernobyl accident this area has a disastrous potential for nuclear catastrophes which cannot be allowed to happen.
		The chapter Aleksandr Nikitin wrote for the Bellona report deals exclusively with accidents on nuclear submarines that have led to the loss of life and/or the release of radioactive materials and which, according to the provisions of the Russian Law on State Secrets, should not be classified as state secrets.

		The real reason behind the attacks on Bellona appears to be alarm among the commanders of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy at a forthcoming Bellona report on radioactive contamination of the Kola Peninsula, where the Northern Fleet is based.
		Bellona activists are now preparing for a press conference in mid-November, at which the new version of the report on the Kola Peninsula is expected to be released.
		A number of facts suggest that the campaign against Bellona was not ordered at the top level of the FSB, where the overall interests of the Russian ruling stratum usually prevail over efforts by aggrieved sectors of the apparatus to defend their power.

	Russia's Sinking Radioactive Nightmare
		Members of the Bellona Foundation, the Norwegian environmental group that employed Nikitin, claim that all the material found in the report came from open sources.
		What prompted him to work with Bellona was that at the beginning of 1990, the Russian government stopped financing the safety programs that oversee nuclear reactors and stations, and the staff saw that without money, it was impossible to do anything.
		As a result of the first Bellona report, which brought this problem to the attention of the rest of the world, the government of Norway pledged 75 million Norwegian crowns (about $10 million) to help deal with this storage facility problem.
