Russia's Nornickel to receive assessment on Arctic fuel leak damages in a month

Russia's Norilsk Nickel said on Thursday it expected to receive an assessment of the damages caused by a fuel leak in the Arctic in a month.

A fuel tank lost pressure on May 29 and unleashed 21,000 tonnes of diesel into rivers and subsoil near Norilsk, an incident that Greenpeace has compared to the devastating 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill off Alaska.
