80 Irish activists blocked the main entrance to Sellafield nuclear power plant on the first day of MOX operation, delaying the transit of trucks carrying the highly radioactive nuclear waste product, plutonium. Despite heavy police presence no arrests were made. MOX was given the go ahead by BNFL safety inspectors while the UK government sought to bury the MOX news under blanket media war coverage. The blockade comes in the wake of a BNFL-confirmed fuel rod handling accident in Chapelcross reactor earlier in the year.
See full report of the december 20th blockade, and an earlier protest in November.

Meanwhile Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace were absent due to their taking the UK government to the High court. The Irish government also served legal documents on the UK government, claiming they have contravened the UN Law of the Sea. In Norway people and government alike have called for decommissioning and placed a sculpture on the beach overlooking the discharge pipe - see photo.

Sign the online petition to close Sellafield.
