Demo called against uranium enrichment
More than 40 anti-nuclear, environment and other groups are calling for a demonstration on the 9th of October against the planned expansion of Germany’s only uranium enrichment plant at Gronau, near the Dutch border.
The organization demand that the North-Rhine Westphalian government reject the expansion application and immediate closure of the plant.
The activists stated at a meeting in Münster that the demonstration is to be against all uses of atomic energy, civilian or military. They noted that “it’s only a small technical step” from enriching uranium to making atom bombs.
The initiatives claim that the operators of the Gronau plant, the German-Dutch-British Urenco GmbH, plan to expand uranium separation from 1,800 to 4,500 tonnes a year.
With that throughput Gronau could supply 35 atomic power stations around the world with fuel.
The initiatives say an “interim storage” for 60,000 tonnes of radioactive waste is also planned at Gronau.
