Yes sounds very much like an April Fools' joke. Especially since there's
an international connection.

But darn it, if it is, it's not fair since April Fools' jokes should be
confined to the first of April on pain of death!

However, I am reminded of when I first read in the New Scientist of the
plutonium release from Windscale decades ago, complete with diagrams
of leukemia rates and so on. It was so dramatic and being in their April 1
issue, I didn't believe it. It was only several years later that I realised
it was a true report based on fact. Or was it...
