The Castor doesn´t move




At the Moment there is a Blockade at the border of France and Germany. The German police tries to remove the activists.

German police tries to remove three activists attached to the railway track in in Berg near Woerth, Southwestern Germany, where a train transporting German nuclear waste to the Gorleben interim storage facility is awaited. German police expect thousands of demonstrators to try to block the upcoming transportation of eleven Castor rail containers of reprocessed. At the moment the police installed floodlight, because they are expecting a long constancy.


The BI media people report 16,000 protesters at the Gorleben demonstration, the biggest number in all the 31 years the nuclear dumping has been fought.Some people are meeting in Braunschweig to visit Cecile being kept in jail there. German Rail reports delays in train traffic in north Germany caused by arson attacks on railway installations in Brandenburg and damage done to signalling equipment. Repairs would take until the late afternoon. The three activists locked to a concrete block are still stopping the CASTOR train from continuing its journey. Police have not yet succeeded to cut the demonstrators out. They’re working with electric hammer drills to try to break open the concrete. The train is still stopped in the French border station Lauterbourg, about four kilometres from the concrete block.
