Description
The demolition of a site linked to pioneering radioactivity researcher Marie Curie will be put on hold, according to France's culture minister. Critics of the demolition say two-time Nobel winner Marie Curie worked in a laboratory in the building, while its proponents dispute this. A cancer-fighting foundation, the Curie Institute wants to build a 2,000-square metre (22,000 square feet) five-storey research centre at the site in Paris' touristy Latin Quarter.
