Nuclear Waste Train Arrives After Protests
From Times Wire Reports
Police in the northern German town of Dannenberg cleared protesters with water cannons as a train laden with 60 tons of nuclear waste arrived a day late after being blocked by demonstrators who chained themselves to the tracks.
With seven helicopters overhead, the train entered town as night fell. The waste was to be carried by trucks on the last leg of a much-disrupted trip from a French reprocessing plant to a dump at Gorleben.
