NUCLEAR NEWS FLASHES - Monday,
November 19, 2001
INTERNATIONAL NEWS:
--GREENPEACE PUBLISHED A MAP OF
NUCLEAR WASTE TRAIN ROUTES THROUGH LONDON as
part of a
full-page advertisement in The Guardian newspaper today,
warning
that
under proposed U.K. legislation such an ad could be "illegal" in
four
weeks. Greenpeace said it would
continue publishing material in the public
interest whether or not the
Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Bill became
law.
Said Greenpeace Executive Director Stephen Tindale, "The measures
in
this
bill show that the nuclear industry is incompatible with a
democratic
society. If the government thinks
that the nuclear industry is a threat to
our
safety and security then it is the industry that must be stopped and
not
the
public's right to see information that directly concerns our health
and
environment." Greenpeace claimed
that, apart from the bill's measures to
stop
people publishing information on nuclear transports, another
clause
prohibits disclosures of "uranium
enrichment technology," adding, the
proposed act "would make it illegal
to talk about the process by which
nuclear fuel is made, where it is
made or the potential problems of using
it."

Comment
:
Wonder why they
restricted themselves to SNF train routes -- do you suppose they will soon run
full-page advertisements giving exact locations of natural gas mains under the
streets of London ? ...how about schedules and routes of propane, gasoline,
chlorine, ammonia, & other HAZMAT tankers ?
This wouldn't have
anything to do with any sort of Greenpeace obsession against nuclear power,
would it ? Hmmm....
