Encamped in a side chapel, beneath a red-and-white banner bearing the image of the Madonna, a dozen protesters proclaimed a fast; they would drink only spring water. Still other parishioners vowed to keep a daylong prayer vigil. The demonstration that unexpectedly erupted last week in the Church of St. Joseph the Worker, a parish in the Warsaw industrial suburb of Ursus, recalled dozens of similar protests during the bitter days of martial law.

About three hours later, after instruments detected no radiation at the site, workers in white coveralls returned to trailers near the blast area to begin collecting data. They had just started to snip the 150 cables connected to underground sensors when the earth gave way. "I felt the earth shake, and before I knew it I was standing on my head...
