Nuclear Action against Radioactive Waste Dumped at Sellafield

Greenpeace activists campaign at Studsvik in Sweden and Sellafield in the United Kingdom, against the transportation of nuclear waste to Sellafield fuel reprocessing plant. A cargo vessel named the Atlantic Osprey is to transport 4.8 tons of radio active waste, including 1.2 kg extremely toxic super weapons grade plutonium, to Sellafield. Since all of the materials are not going to be returned to Sweden after reprocessing, the transport is in clear violation of Swedish law. Sweden is essentially dumping nuclear waste in England.
