"Natural catastrophes and nuclear energy: the danger has been pushed back", reads the headline ofDie Tageszeitung, depicting the image of a Russian forest contaminated by the 1985 Chernobyl meltdown, now endangered by the encroaching flames of forest fires in Russia. The daily explains that even if experts believe that Germans don't yet have reason to sound the alarm, observers in Eastern Europe and in the north are becoming increasingly worried. "Nuclear power plants and their wastes are particularly vulnerable to natural catastrophes (...) and not just in Russia", notes the "TAZ", recalling the sites of Forsmark (Sweden), Biblis (Germany) and Belent (Bulgaria), all three of which have been exposed to important risks of natural disaster.
