20,000 German police to protect nuclear train

A rebuttal from George Monbiot perchance?

Nuclear waste train heads to end of the line
Anti-nuclear protesters sit on the railway tracks 
near Harlingen, Germany. The Castor (Cask for 
Storage and Transport Of Radioactive material) 
train is carrying 11 containers of spent German 
nuclear fuel en route from France after being 
reprocessed, to the nuclear waste storage 
facility of Gorleben in northeastern Germany this weekend

DPA/Dannenberg, Germany
Thousands of protesters assembled in the northern 
German town of Dannenberg yesterday to meet a 
train carrying nuclear waste to a nearby storage depot.
Anti-nuclear demonstrators said that some 23,000 
people took part in demonstrations against 
nuclear energy in general and the storage site in 
particular. The police spoke of 8,000 protesters.
After reloading in Dannenberg’s train depot, the 
material is to be transported to the storage site 
in Gorleben, a sparsely populated town of fewer 
than 650 people, located 20km further east.
Around 1,200 people blocked the tracks to prevent 
the train from reaching Gorleben, police said, adding that more were arriving.
Critics say the facility is not suitable to store 
nuclear waste, as salt in the ground could weaken 
containment structures and result in leaks.
The so-called Castor (Cask for Storage and 
Transport Of Radioactive material) transport, 
containing a cargo of 11 tightly-sealed casks of 
nuclear material, is slated to arrive later in the day.
The government has told citizens that waste will 
only be stored temporarily in Gorleben. But 
protesters are afraid that the site may become permanent.
Skirmishes along the route were more militant 
than in past years, with some protesters throwing 
rocks and incendiary devices, but police said the 
Dannenberg protesters were largely peaceful.
Anti-nuclear organisers said turnout was higher than they had anticipated.
About 20,000 police officers have been deployed 
to oversee the train’s journey to the controversial storage site.
On Friday, protesters clashed with police, on the French side of the border.
Throughout the night, police employed water canon 
and pepper spray to subdue protesters who threw 
smoke bombs at them and the transport itself. 
They also removed people splayed across train tracks.
The shipment is the last in a series of 
transports to be made from France to Germany.
The waste being moved Friday was produced in 
Germany and treated at a nuclear reprocessing plant in northern France.
Germany decided to phase out nuclear energy by 
2022 in the wake of the Japanese nuclear accident 
in March this year, but has not found a permanent 
solution to storing its waste.

Fear not therefore: for there is nothing covered 
that shall not be revealed; and nothing hid that 
shall not be made known. What I tell you in 
darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye 
hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27

Die Pride and Envie; Flesh, take the poor's advice.
Covetousnesse be gon: Come, Truth and Love arise.
Patience take the Crown; throw Anger out of dores:
Cast out Hypocrisie and Lust, which follows whores:
Then England sit in rest; Thy sorrows will have end;
Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.
