Plutonium Shipment Action Los Alamos to Cadarache
Greenpeace activists clash with French police during a protest against the imminent arrival of two BNFL (British Nuclear Fuels) ships, which are carrying 140kg of radioactive weapons-grade plutonium. The activists obstructed the road between the Cherbourg military port and a reprocessing complex on the la Hague peninsula. The road will be used for transporting the dangerous cargo, which Greenpeace believes is highly vulnerable to accidents or deliberate attack.

Nuclear Action in France
Greenpeace protests against the transport of weapons-grade plutonium, from Los Alamos USA, which will travel to Cadarache nuclear facility north of Marseilles. The transport began in France after the arrival of UK-flagged commercial nuclear cargo ship, the Pacific Pintail, from Charleston, USA. Before reaching its final destination it will have travelled more than a thousand kilometres across France, passing by numerous highly populated communities. Greenpeace believes the shipment is unnecessary and highly vulnerable to accidents or deliberate attack.
