| Greenpeace blocks train convoy 14-02-2005 - A train convoy leaving Vercelli with a freight of nuclear waste canisters, headed for Sellafield in the UK, is blocked at Chivasso station outside Turin, after Greenpeace activists blocked it at 01:00 hours today. "The train is blocked in Chivassso - says Greenpeace's Roberto Ferrigno - but we're working on it returning to Vercelli. A train carrying a freight of nuclear waste cannot be parked in open air and we're doing our utmost for authorities to act on it". Tonight's protest Ferrigno added is against "the transport of nuclear waste towards England where it causes cancer and radioactive contamination. Italy is abetting nuclear contamination worldwide" Source: Agenzia Giornalistica Italia more news about nuclear waste? |
