The article focuses on the fallen Soviet nuclear-powered space satellite Cosmos 954. It notes that the findings confirmed the claim of scientists that parts of the Russian satellite had survived the blazing entry into atmosphere and fell in a shotgun-manner over at least 200 miles in Canada. It says that even a small part is emitting enough radiation that can kill anyone whose holding it for two hours. It says that as the retrieval operation code-named Operation Morning Light continues, Canadian paratroopers set up a camp to prevent wandering Eskimos from being exposed to the radiation and protect the pieces until analyzed by Western military experts.
