The truck with its special box construction blocks the first cross road where a transport of nuclear waste is supposed to pass. The inside box was put down on the street so that the truck cannot be moved. The Castor train with nuclear waste was underway from French La Hague with delay due to various protests of anti nuclear activists. The CASTOR (Cask for Storage and Transport of Radioactive material) is a train convoy carrying eleven 100-tonne containers of radioactive waste. Measurements of these containers show that the radioactivity in each one is higher than what was released at Chernobyl in 1986 - this makes the CASTOR transport effectively a Chernobyl on wheels.In original language:Aktion gegen Castor TransporteGreenpeace-Aktivisten haben einen LKW, der als Bierlaster getarnt ist, vor der Ausfahrt des Verladekrans in Dannenberg auf der Strasse fixiert. Die Aktivisten befinden sich in einem Container, der auf die Castor-Transportstrecke abgesenkt und mit Stahlroehren an der Strasse befestigt wurde. Auf dem Banner am LKW ist "Atomkraft ist ein Irrweg - Stopp Castor" zu lesen. Polizei versucht die Raeumung.Locations:Dannenberg (Elbe)-Europe-Germany-WendlandDate:8 Nov, 2010Credit:© Daniel Müller / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3600px X 2400pxKeywords:Access blockade actions-Actions and protests-CASTOR-Greenpeace activists-KWCI (GPI)-Night-Nuclear (campaign title)-Nuclear waste-Nuclear waste transports-One person-Outdoors-Radioactive waste-YellowShoot:Blockade of Castor Transport in GermanyGreenpeace opposes the shipment of nuclear waste bound from Valonges, France to Goleben, Germany. The CASTOR (Cask for Storage and Transport of Radioactive material) nuclear waste transport is an example of the nuclear madness that must end. It is a train convoy carrying eleven 100-tonne containers of radioactive waste that is reprocessed in France and returns to Germany each year for storage. Measurements of these eleven containers done by ANDRA (National Agency for Radioactive Waste Management) show that the radioactivity in each container is higher than what was released at Chernobyl in 1986 - this makes the CASTOR transport effectively a Chernobyl on wheels.Related Collections:Nuclear Waste Train En Route (Photo + Video)
