German police move on anti-nuclear activists

  

DANNENBERG, Germany, March 23 (Reuters) - German police said on 

Friday they had moved on anti-nuclear demonstrators from two camps 

ahead of the resumption next week of nuclear waste shipments from 

France back to Germany. 



The two camps, each housing about 30 protesters, were set up on 

private land near the railway between the northern towns of Lueneburg 

and Dannenberg which the nuclear waste transport will pass through 

next week. 



"The camps were not approved by the local government because they 

might provoke violent protest against the transports," a police 

spokesman told Reuters. 



France is due to start sending nuclear waste back to Germany on 

Monday after treatment in its reprocessing plant in La Hague and 

German anti-nuclear activists have already begun  protests against 

the shipment. 



A mass demonstration is planned for Saturday in Lueneburg and police 

expect thousands of demonstrators to try to block the transports. 



During the last transports, anti-nuclear activists protested along 

the route and police fought running battles with groups trying to 

block the arrival of the waste at Gorleben.
