nearly twice the number acknowledged
previously.
The six dead apparently are in addition to
the two people previously report<*d killed in
the April 20 explosion and fire at the Ukrai
nian plant HO miles north of Kiev.
Plant officials wen; blamed and punished
for the three-day delay in telling the world
i at (nil the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and for
'lie bungled evacuation that did not liegin un
til 30 hours after the accident
Monday’s report on casualties from the
Council of Ministers, distributed by the Tass
news agency, was the first new official report
of deaths in nearly two weeks
Previous official accounts said one person
died of steam burns and the other was killed by
falling debris us firefighters battled the blaze in
Chernobyl's No, -1 reactor.
"Medical and preventive measures are lin
ing taken among the injured." the Council of
Ministers statement said "Thirty-five persons
are in grave condition, six who suffered from
burns and radiation died "
The statement did not elaborate.
According to earlier official statistics. 18
radiation victims were in serious condition. A
total of 204 people were reported injured.
The Monday announcement said decon
tamination work was continuing at the plant,
as well as efforts to cool the damaged reactor
and build a cement "tomb" around its radioac
tive core, which many Western scientists
believe melted.
"The radiation situation in Byelorussia
and the Ukraine, including Kiev, is improv
ing." it said.
A report on the cleanup published Mon
day night in the government newspaper
l/.vestia said buildings at the plant and nearby
were being decontaminated with water that
was drained away into a special filter system to
frw it of radioactive material.
Topsoil in the "danger /one" was being
removed and the area covered with concrete.
Izvnslia said. It did not give the dimensions of
the zone.
I’ravda. the Communist Party daily, said
three local party officials were punished for
underestimating the scope of the accident and
mishandling the evacuation of <12.000 people
from an tH-mile radius.
The reports gave no hint of whether top of
ficials will suffer. Foreign governments have
complained about slow and incomplete repor
ting of the accident and its consequences.
An explosion and fire at the plant early on
Saturday. April 2f>. spewed an invisible cloud
of radioactivity over Europe. The Soviet Union
did not acknowledge the accident until Mon
day night. April 28. after high radiation levels
found in Scandinavia and Sweden demanded
an explanation.
In Brussels, a senior official of the Euro
pean Common Market said Monday the
trading bloc had agreed to bar imports of fresh
foods from the Soviet Union and six Hast Euro
pean countries within a t>40-mile radius of
Chernobyl.
Poland said the action could cost it hun
dreds of millions of dollars, and invited
Western experts to inspect its anti-radiation
controls.
Vladimir l.omeiko. the Soviet Foreign
Ministry spokesman, told a news conference
Monday that local officials were guilty of any
mistakes made in reporting and handling the
disaster.
