World

German nuke waste starts tonight for La Hague, possibly Sellafield

Atomnix (translated by Diet Simon) | 09.12.2003 21:48 | Ecology | World

Castors starting out tonight, Wednesday

Tonight (Tuesday 9 Dec) a Castor container of nuclear power station waste is expected to start from Brunsbüttel for La Hague in France, Atomnix reported at 7.11 pm today at  http://de.indymedia.org/2003/12/69384.shtml.

More Castors are expected to leave the Stade, Unterweser (Esenshamm, one or two TN 13/2 containers), Grohnde and Isar-2 (Ohu) power stations.

The Castor train is expected at about 11 pm at Saarbrücken-Forbach on the Franco-German border tomorrow, Wednesday.

The Castor (TN 13/2) that left Brokdorf by truck yesterday for loading on the train at Brunsbüttel this (Dec 8) evening is the 12th this year from that plant.

The rail route from Brunsbüttel on runs through Itzehoe and Elmshorn to Hamburg. From Hamburg most probably on in a southerly direction to the shunting station Maschen. At Maschen it is likely to be connected with another nuclear waste transport from the Stade station. Past experience has been that the further route went via Jesteburg - Buchholz (Nordheide) - Tostedt - Scheeßel - Rotenburg (Wümme), from there either towards Verden/Nienburg or Bremen/Münster.

Usually well informed sources have reported that the Esenshamm transport will set out on Wednesday 10 Dec about 4 am. In the past the route was Esenshamm - Hude - Oldenburg - Leer – towards Rheine/Münster. From Hude the CASTOR can also run via Bremen/Osnabrück.

 http://www.trainstopping.de suggests that if waste is also shipped out of Grohnde, a route Hamburg-Hannover via Lüneburg-Ülzen, i.e. the classical Gorleben route, is also feasible to hook the various consignments together. This poster urges vigilance on that route, too.

At the Isar 2 (Ohu) plant in Bavaria two TN 13/2 Castors are ready to roll. Activists there expect a linkup with the consigments from the north so that on Dec 10 highly radioactive material will be carted either through the Altmühltal valley (unlikely) or through Nuremberg. ( http://www.energiewendebuendnis.de/Atommulltransporte/atommulltransporte.html ).

Stade, recently shut down, still contains 192 spent fuel rods to be transported in 28 Castors (TN 17/2) for “recycling” in La Hague.

There are indications that included in this new transport will be waste from the Krümmel plant on the Elbe River for processing in the British plutonium factory, Sellafield.  http://www.i-st.net/~buendnis/akt/aktuell.htm

According to the list of the Federal Agency for Radiation Protection (BfS), status 1 Dec 03, the following nuclear power stations have permits to despatch to La Hague: Brunsbüttel (2 more containers), Brokdorf (3 more containers), Stade (4 more containers), Unterweser (2 containers), Grohnde (10 more containers), Grafenrheinfeld (4 more containers), Philippsburg-1 u. -2 (3 more containers) and Isar-2 (6 more containers) ( http://www.bfs.de/transport/gv/tg.pdf )

The north German info-phone will again keep up to date: 0160 / 54 74 275 (today, 09.12.03 from 6 pm, until the transport has left north Germany).
