   DISASTER THREATENS THE BALTIC SEA

   An environmental disaster threatens the entire Baltic Sea. Waste, equivalent of 1200 tons Uranium and 600 tons Thorium, may leak or even flow, like a waterfall, from a factory in Estonia. The high level radioactive material is situated in a dam, in a former Soviet nuclear factory, the Danish trade magazine Ingenoren (The Engineer) reports.
   The dam deposit may collapse at any time, during a storm or if the pressure is getting to high, Danish environmental authorities says.
   30 tons of waste are leaking from the deposit every day.
