German activists report that 11 Castor caskets of spent nuclear fuel from several power stations are to be railed to La Hague in France and Sellafield in England next week.
Aktionsbuendnis CASTOR-Widerstand Neckarwestheim says two Castor caskets will go to both countries from the nuke at Neckarwestheim, about 45 km north of Stuttgart, the first transport this year.
The others would come from the north. Krümmel, Stade and Unterweser nukes are mentioned, but the activist group
http://x1000hamburg.de rule Krümmel out.
The Neckarwestheim group expect trucking out on Tuesday, 3 Feb. On 4 Feb the train is to take the French route via the border crossing of Lauterbourg, west of Karlsruhe. The border crossing is planned for 2 p.m.
Today, Saturday, 12 members of Greenpeace demonstrated in the early hours against the last planned nuclear transport to Sellafield.
Police said it was a peaceful protest that ended at 8 am.
Nuclear opponents from the region have announced another demonstration for tomorrow, Sunday Feb 1.
They plan to erect a “Wailing Wall” outside the Neckarwestheim nuke to protest the intention to build an “interim storage” in its grounds for about 160 Castor caskets.
