		On the further assumption that the nuclear tests had produced considerable fracturing of the atoll structure, the conclusion reached was that radionuclides generated by the tests could begin to leak into the lagoon within 10-100 years.
		Atoll water relationships are known to be hugely complex from studies on other atolls [2].
		Movement of water through the structure of the Atoll will also be affected by any fracturing of the structure due to the tests themselves which could markedly affect the movement of materials through the structure by considerably increasing the porosity.

	PR 98/9 - 29 June 1998 - THE RADIOLOGICAL SITUATION AT THE ATOLLS OF MURUROA AND FANGATAUFA
		The atolls, narrow rims of coral reef jutting a few metres above the ocean, located in French Polynesia in the middle of the South Pacific, were the site of nearly 200 nuclear tests carried out by France from 1966 until January 1996, when all French nuclear testing ceased.
		It also estimated the radioactive materials present underground beneath the atolls and assessed the potential movement of these materials through the geological formations into the atoll lagoons and directly into the surrounding seawaters, and their dispersion throughout the South Pacific Ocean.
		However, the Study also noted that there were several kilograms of residual plutonium in the sediments in the lagoon of each atoll; that particles containing plutonium were present on three islets of the Mururoa Atoll, and that levels of caesium-137 were somewhat elevated in small areas of the Fangataufa Atoll.

		Waste management at Mururoa in earlier times was poor; it is now very good and the French authorities are making every reasonable effort to clean up previously contaminated land areas.
		What form of madness is it that allows French speaking authorities to wash their hands of their global responsibilities to life by talking of Mururoa atoll as being "in France".
		French authorities are probably secure in their belief that ships of other nations will not form a blockade around Mururoa to protect her from the insane 'experiments' by physically keeping war-scientists off the atoll.

		Nuclear testing by France in Mururoa atoll posed a serious human and environmental threat in the Pacific and must be stopped, the representative of the Marshall Islands told the First Committee (Disarmament and International Security) this afternoon.
		Referring to the French resumption of testing at Mururoa atoll, he said he could not accept the "weak argument" that the current tests were safe for his country's Pacific neighbours and friends.
		Citing a fear that had been expressed regarding the stability of the atoll, she said precautions had been taken to guarantee the stability of the volcanic underground rock where the French tests were taking place.

		A comprehensive report of the study of the current radiological situation at the Atolls of Mururoa and Fangataufa in French Polynesia is being released this week by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
		The atolls, narrow rims of coral reef jutting a few metres above ocean in the middle of the South Pacific, were the site of nuclear testing from 1966 until 1996, when France ceased such tests.
		The French government plans to continue some environmental monitoring at the atolls and the Study recommended that there could be scientific interest in supplementing this programme by additional monitoring of the underground migration of certain radionuclides.
