The next Castor transport will depart, according to environmentalists, a day earlier than previously thought from the French reprocessing plant at La Hague to Gorleben in Lower Saxony. Castor German opponents called this “last kick” for the action plans against the transport. This would for a Bundestag expertise can not possibly be approved.
According to the environmental group Greenpeace and the French nuclear phase-out initiative Sortir du Nucleaire to the eleven nuclear waste containers left on Wednesday at 14:20 clock the loading station in the French Valognes. The operating company Areva confirmed only that the transport is being prepared.
How to plan for the previous twelve transports to Gorleben in this year several initiatives blockades of rail and road route. The citizens’ initiative Luechow-Dannenberg (BI) said that despite the bringing forward of transport are well prepared opponents. “The action plans to get us through the announcement that the nuclear waste will start earlier one last kick,” said BI spokesman, Wolfgang Ehmke.

However, there was also information that the police had planned in Germany a few longer stopovers. The opponents were prepared for all eventualities and would stick to its call for mass demonstration in Dannenberg.

Approval in Sanders lacked a “critical examination of uncertainties and error limits,” the Scientific Service complained loudly, “mirror”.
