Greenpeace blocks train
convoy
14-02-2005 - A train convoy leaving
Vercelli with a freight of nuclear waste canisters, headed for
Sellafield in the UK, is blocked at Chivasso station outside Turin,
after Greenpeace activists blocked it at 01:00 hours today. "The train
is blocked in Chivassso - says Greenpeace's Roberto Ferrigno - but we're
working on it returning to Vercelli. A train carrying a freight of
nuclear waste cannot be parked in open air and we're doing our utmost
for authorities to act on it". Tonight's protest Ferrigno added is
against "the transport of nuclear waste towards England where it
causes cancer and radioactive contamination. Italy is abetting nuclear
contamination worldwide"
