Nuclear Waste Transport In Germany

This weekend another transport with twelve containers of radioactive waste 
is going to the small town of Gorleben in the Wendland region, an area well 
known for 20 years of resistance to nuclear technology. The transport is 
scheduled to leave the plutonium plant La Hague (France) on Saturday 19, 
arriving in Gorleben during Monday night. Police announced sending at least 
11,000 police -- both local and federal -- into the region.

After the death of one activist during the protests last year, both police 
and activists expect a more heated up atmosphere this time. As in previous 
years, there were direct actions against the nuclear in the weeks before 
the expected transport. In October the accommodation of police troups, more 
than 100 containers, completely burned down causing damage worth more than 
3 million euros; nobody was hurt. It was the most militant act against the 
transports since activists burned down a whole railway bridge on the way to 
Gorleben in autumn 2001. This week, anti-nuke activists also destroyed the 
contact wire of railways in northern Germany by using anchors. Police say 
they’ve prevented an attempt to undermine a road with water (en) two days ago.

November 19: appr. 4000 people demonstrated in Hitzacker, 30km from 
Gorleben, a town the transport will pass on Monday. Pictures at IMC

fire ( pictures).

November 18: 600 pupils demonstrated (en) in Lüchow throwing a "rain of 
eggs" (police) at police forces. Police forces tried to clear the 
demonstration later injuring several pupils.
