Efter bordningen ändrade fartyget kurs och styrde tillbaka mot svenska kusten. Fartygets uppdrag är att frakta 4,8 ton använt kärnbränsle, varav 1,2 kg extremt farligt "super weapons grade plutonium" till engelska Sellafield. Efter upparbetningen, som kommer att innebära att radioaktivitet läcker från anläggningen, ska restavfallet stanna i Storbritannien. Eftersom varken Storbritannien eller Sverige har något slutförvar för denna typ av avfall dumpar i praktiken svenska myndigheter avfallet hos britterna - vilket strider mot svensk lag.Locations:Denmark-Europe-Scandinavia-Studsvik nuclear research reactorDate:6 Oct, 2007Credit:© Greenpeace / Christian ÅslundMaximum size:2362px X 1569pxKeywords:Banners-Boarding actions-Cargo ships-Day-Greenpeace activists-KWCI (GPI)-Nuclear (campaign title)-Nuclear energy symbol-Nuclear waste-Nuclear waste transports-Outdoors-Protective clothing-Sellafield Nuclear Reprocessing Plant-Two peopleShoot:Action against Swedish Nuclear Waste TransportGreenpeace activists boarding, for the second consecutive day, the Sellafield Ltd / PNTL's ship "Atlantic Osprey" 18 nautical miles south east of Skagen, Denmark, to protest against the export of Swedish nuclear waste to the UK. After boarding, the ship changes course and heads back towards the Swedish coast. The ship's mission is to carry 4.8 tons of spent nuclear fuel, of which 1.2 kg extremely dangerous "super weapons grade plutonium", to Sellafield. After reprocessing, which will lead to radioactive contamination leaking from the plant, the residual waste will stay in the United Kingdom. Since neither the UK nor Sweden has a repository for this type of waste, Swedish authorities is in practice dumping nuclear waste in the UK – in violation of Swedish law.
