Haven't we got enough already - why is more nuclear waste heading our way?

Posted by jossc — 1 October 2007 at 12:56pm - Comments

Despite the close attentions of coastguard ships and helicopters, not to mention an anti-terrorist task force, 30 Greenpeace activists in inflatable boats intercepted a British Nuclear Group ship this morning as it headed towards Sweden to pick up a cargo of nuclear waste. The intense level of protection around the Atlantic Osprey meant that its arrival was only delayed by an hour or so before docking at the nuclear facility at Studsvik, where it will pick up 4.8 tonnes of spent nuclear fuel, due for reprocessing at Sellafield's MAGNOX plant.

London's alternative to nuclear power

The Mayor of London Ken Livingstone believes there is an alternative to nuclear power

If you travel on the London underground, you may be seeing a lot more of nuclear waste over the next few weeks than you've been used to. We've joined The Mayor of London Ken Livingstone in launching a poster campaign to tell Londoners about the alternative to the new nuclear power stations Tony Blair wants to build - and inviting them to join the debate on our energy future.

Greenpeace publish nuclear waste train timetables for the whole of Britain

EVENING COMMUTERS at Kensington Olympia, Peckham Rye, Wandsworth Road and Denmark Hill stations were alerted today (26 July) by Greenpeace activists that the next train passing through their platform was carrying hazardous nuclear waste.

Passengers at the four stations heard the announcement, made through giant megaphones, informing them that:

Greenpeace publishes a timetable of the UK's nuclear waste trains

Unless you live near a Sellafield or a Dungeness, the dangers of radioactive waste probably seem a world away.

They're not.

Hundreds of thousands of us are unwittingly exposed to the dangers of nuclear waste. Every week, trains carrying nuclear waste trundle along the UK's outdated rail network through our villages, towns and cities - often at peak times and only metres away from ordinary passenger trains.
