Russia is ready to implement a unique project on developing an oil field on the Arctic shelf. For the first time in the world people intend to drill for crude oil within the area covered by ice for most time of year and carry it away by ice-breakers. Reports on estimated impact of the oil field developing on the environment are presented to public in the Gubkin State Academy of Oil and Gas in Moscow. The presentations are attended by petroleum engineers and ecologists.

The Moscow radiochemists have developed and applied in practice new methods for analysis of transuranium elements in the environment objects. With the help of the most up-to-date techniques, they have investigated in detail the americium and plutonium migration paths in water and soils of some regions in Siberia and Southern Ural which are in particular need for such type of monitoring - in the vicinity of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Mayak" Manufacturing Company and Federal State Unitary Enterprise "GHK" ("Mining and Chemical Enterprise") - i.e. the areas where nuclear fuel is produced and nuclear waste is utilized.

Breef content: |
Current achievements in molecular genetics allow scientists to have a look not only in the depths of genomes but also in the depths of ancient times. By analysing fossil DNAs, Russian biologists reconstructed the picture of Russian Northern lands development. The research was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and the RF Ministry of Industry and Sciences.
