The CASTOR (Cask for Storage and Transport of Radioactive material) is a train convoy carrying eleven 100-tonne containers of radioactive waste. Measurements of these containers show that the radioactivity in each one is higher than what was released at Chernobyl in 1986 - this makes the CASTOR transport effectively a Chernobyl on wheels.Locations:Dahlenburg-Europe-GermanyDate:8 Nov, 2010Credit:© Gordon Welters / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3600px X 2400pxKeywords:CASTOR-KWCI (GPI)-Night-Nuclear (campaign title)-Nuclear radiation-Nuclear waste-Nuclear waste transports-Outdoors-Radiation measurement-Radioactive waste-TrainsShoot:Castor Radiation Measurement in GermanyGreenpeace nuclear experts carry out radiation measurements near the Castor train railway line, only meters away from residential housing.
