Nuclear resistance schedule agreed
Press release 19.04.05
A Germany-wide anti-nuclear conference took place in Dresden at the weekend. Various activist groups discussed a protests schedule against irresponsible carting of atomic waste from Dresden/Rossendorf to Ahaus in the period 28 May to 14 June.
The authorities are planning three consignments of six Castor caskets each, containing highly radioactive material, including two kilogrammes of plutonium. For the first time since the 1980s, these transports to the interim storage facilities at Gorleben and Ahaus are to be carried out completely on 600 km of roads.
The anti-nuclear groups are calling for determined resistance in Dresden, along the entire transport route, in Ahaus as well as solidarity protest actions in other towns and cities.
The actions agreed by the conference include demonstrations along autobahns (motorways), at bridges, rest houses and autobahn feeder roads.
The threatening transports show that there is no “atomic exit”. In fact, in February authorities and politicians even cleared the way for expanding the uranium enrichment factory in Gronau, North-Rhine Westphalia. It is to be feared further that from 2006 high-temperature reactor technology will be re-imported from China, Japan and South Africa.
We demand the immediate shutdown of all atomic installations worldwide!
We call on activists to take part in mobilisation and protest actions against the transports from Dresden/Rossendorf to Ahaus!

Presseerklärung 19.04.05
Protestaktionen gegen Atommülltransport
Am Wochenende fand in Dresden eine bundesweite Anti-Atom-Konferenz
statt. Verschiedene Initiativen besprachen den Widerstandsfahrplan gegen die
verantwortungslose Atommüll-Verschieberei von Dresden/Rossendorf nach
Ahaus im Zeitraum vom 28. Mai bis 14. Juni.
Die Behörden planen drei Transporte mit jeweils sechs Castor-Behältern, die
hochradioaktives Material beinhalten, darunter zwei Kilogramm Plutonium.
Erstmals seit den 80er Jahren sollen diese Fuhren komplett auf der Strasse über
600 Kilometer Autobahn rollen. Es ist zu befürchten, dass die Transporte der
Auftakt sind für weitere Strassentransporte in die atomaren Zwischenlager
Gorleben und Ahaus.
Die Anti-Atom-Gruppen rufen auf zu entschiedenem Widerstand in Dresden,
entlang der gesamten Transportstrecke, in Ahaus sowie solidarischen
Protestaktionen in anderen Städten.
Unter anderem sind Demonstrationen an Autobahnen, Brücken, Rastplätzen
und Autobahnzubringern verabredet worden.
Die drohenden Transporte zeigen , dass es keinen "Atom-Ausstieg" gibt. Von
Behörden und Politik wurde sogar im Februar die Erweiterung der Uran-
Anreicherungsanlage in Gronau / NRW in die Wege geleitet. Weiter steht zu
befürchten, dass die Hochtemperatur-Reaktortechnik ab 2006 aus China,
Japan u. Südafrika reimportiert wird.
Wir fordern die sofortige Stillegung aller Atomanlagen weltweit !
Wir rufen dazu auf, sich an Mobilisierung und Protestaktionen gegen die
Transporte von Dresden/Rossendorf nach Ahaus zu beteiligen !

Another uranium transport to Russia
On 12 February there was another transport of uranium from Gronau through Rottertdam to Russia. Bernd Stange, WigA-support, wrote that as far as he knew activist groups from Münster, Greven, Gronau, Ahaus, Kamen, Waltrop, Gladbeck, Osnabrück, the Netherlands and many individuals, amounting to 150 people, demonstrated. http://de.indymedia.org/2005/04/111851.shtml
Uranium “emergency brake” a full success
Uranium trains have got it pretty tough in the Münsterland, wrote Uranix on 14 April. Chaotic people were now travelling on passenger trains threatening to use emergency brakes on one-way tracks. All train traffic would be stopped. Border police didn’t have a clue who they were dealing with in “Action Emergency Brake”, Uranix writes, often indiscriminately checking “normal” passengers while genuine emergency brakers were able to travel undisturbed, handing out protest information to fellow passengers. http://de.indymedia.org/2005/04/111783.shtml
Nuke being switched off
The 37-year-old nuclear power station at Obrigheim in southern Germany is to be shut down this month. The neckarwestheim.antiatom.de activist group explains at
http://de.indymedia.org/2005/04/111057.shtml that they’re glad to see it go, but also how that doesn’t make much difference in the overall scheme of things.
Germans predict renewables future
Seven out of ten Germans expect mainly the sun, wind and water to dominate in the world’s energy supply in the next 20 years, a survey by the Institut für Demoskopie (IfD) in Allensbach found. http://de.indymedia.org/2005/03/109087.shtml
Waste dump for French village of 80 planned
Markus Pflüger reports at http://de.indymedia.org/2005/03/108369.shtml that a nuclear waste dump may start operation next year at Bure, a village of 80 people near Nancy in Lorraine, France. The international nuclear resistance has bought a house to fight the project, with many activities planned this year. Support is requested from around the world.
