Strangely deformed frogs were found in a ditch into which the Amsterdam Nuclear Research Institute deposits its waste, the Weekly Vrij Nederland reported today.

The paper said Dr. D. Hellenius, a biologist, listed among frogs brought to him:

“Frogs with extra legs, frogs with three legs and a fourth leg with 15 to 20 long toes, frogs with reversed hind legs.”

The paper said Dr. Hillenius suggested the deformities were the result of contact with radioactive waste.
