Belgian nuclear waste shipment dummy run completed

BRUSSELS, March 17 (Reuters) - The Belgian nuclear waste agency 
Ondraf said on Friday the transport of a mock-up high level nuclear 
waste shipment from France to Belgium had been succesfully completed, 
opening the way to real shipments. 

The mock-up arrived by train from the Cogema re-processing plant at 
La Hague, France on February 24, Cogema said in a statement. 

Belgium plans to ship 75 cubic metres of its nuclear waste from the 
plant where it was sent for re-processing. No Belgian nuclear waste 
has yet made the return journey. 

Ondraf said it would publish a timetable for the real shipments in 
the coming weeks.
