A spokesman said there had been a small leak in a water pipe in the cooling system, and that the station would resume operation next week. He told UNIAN news agency that there had been no escape of radiation, and that staff had not been in any danger. Western governments dispute Ukraine's assertion that Chernobyl is safe. 2/5 Headlines 101 Extra 140 Ticker 151 News Index 102 Flash 150 Newsreel 152 Politics News Indx News Xtra Main Menu

US-owned Cargill is the world's biggest cereal trading group, and Greenpeace stopped its lorries leaving the plant. 3/5 Headlines 101 Extra 140 Ticker 151 News Index 102 Flash 150 Newsreel 152 Politics News Indx News Xtra Main Menu
