BNFL plea for safe protest from Greenpeace
British Nuclear Fuels today appealed to Greenpeace-led environmental activists to protest in a “safe and responsible manner” after two ships carrying radioactive material entered the Irish Sea.
The company confirmed the ships carrying the plutonium fuel back from Japan entered the sea this morning and said they would complete their 18,000-mile journey by arriving at Barrow-in-Furness, near Sellafield in Cumbria at about 9am tomorrow.
