Finland quizzes Gronau uranium past its door

InyMedia authors 16.05.2007 23:57 Themen: Atom
A critical TV report about waste uranium shipments from Germany to Russia has prompted the Finnish government to commission a report on such transports past Finland.
On 15 May the Dutch ship Doggersbank sailed past Helsinki with 1,000 tonnes of “depleted uranium”.
The Finnish government move potentially opens a new front of opposition for the Urenco company owned by British, Dutch and German power companies.
The shipment had come from the Urenco plant at Gronau in Germany close to the Dutch border.
The German environment minister has said he’ll go to Moscow to meet with Russian anti-nuclear activists. More in German at  http://germany.indymedia.org/2007/05/177089.shtml

Activists from both countries demanded an end to the highly dangerous movement of uranium hexafluoride through half of Europe and protested against the planned final waste repository at Bure in France. They underlined their protest with a symbolic blockade of the railway track. More in German at  http://germany.indymedia.org/2007/05/176985.shtml
