Ahaus Castors down the autobahn?
WigA Widerstand gegen Atomlagen - 22.01.2004 20:18

February looking likely for Ahaus CASTOR transport - will it be on the autobahn?


Information is accumulating that points to an early date for the transportation of 18 Castor caskets of highly radioactive nuclear waste from Rossendorf/Dresden to Ahaus.


1. On Wednesday morning (21 Jan) the media spokesman of the Federal Agency for Radiation Protection (BfS), Dirk Daiber, rang the Environment Centre (Umweltzentrum) in Münster. He did not deny our report of the previous day on IndyMedia which had stated that a permit would come through in the coming two to three weeks for a transport in February. Daiber was interested only in where the information came from...

2. Also on Wednesday (21 Jan) there was a meeting at the government presidium in Münster of the county directors of Borken, Steinfurt and Coesfeld with representatives of the North-Rhine Westphalian state
government from Düsseldorf. Media inquirers were told it was only about "regional transport planning". The presidium made much of emphasising that CASTOR transports were not discussed. It is to be assumed, however, that
controversial issues like nuclear transports will also come up when
administrators of this rank meet, regardless of the denial.

3. The Federal Environment Ministry told the Ahaus civic action group
opposing storage and transports already in November that the 18 CASTORS are
probably going to be trucked on motorways "for cost reasons"! That would be
the first big road transport in 15 years. Following the so-called
Transnuklear scandal over thousands of barrels of nuclear waste being
illegally transported, millions paid in bribes and workers being
contaminated, the then environment minister, Klaus Töpfer, ordered
transports put on to trains for safety reasons!

That is why the transport is especially important to the nationwide
anti-nuclear movement and should be the focus in the weeks ahead.

These are the two possible routes:

A: Dresden-Chemnitz-Gera-Jena-Erfurt-Eisenach (A4) - Kassel
(A7)-Paderborn-Dortmund
(A44)-Recklinghausen(A1/2) -Gelsenkirchen-Bottrop(A2)-Dorsten-Ahaus (A31)

B: Dresden-Leipzig (A4/14)-Halle-Magdeburg
(A14) -Braunschweig-Hannover-Minden (A2) - Osnabrück-Bad Bentheim
(A30)-Gronau-Ahaus

Should it be a rail consignment after all, approximately the same routes
would be likely, with the last piece most probably running via
Hamm-Lünen-Dülmen-Coesfeld to Ahaus. The private rail siding in Ahaus is not
yet ready for transports, however.

Familiarise yourselves with the motorway (Autobahn) sections near you!

Think quickly about autobahn-compatible protests!
Mobilise in your towns and villages!

Give the CASTOR a puncture before it sets off!

Litigation possibility


"Infomierter gewöhnlicher Bär" at  http://www.trainstopping.de/ advises that
in case of road transportation §4AtG offers the chance to litigate.

In contrast to rail transportation, in road transportation under §4
Paragraph 5 Atomgesetz (Atom Act) "the necessary protection against
disturbance measures or other interventions by third parties" has to be
assured.
Proof of this protection is prerequisite to licensing the transportation.

According to Paragraph 6 No. 6 this proof is not required for rail
transportation.

We have seen in recent years what vast police input has been necessary for
the less than 20 road kilometres from Dannenberg to Gorleben.

And the efforts interior minister Schönbohm thought necessary for the road
transport from Rheinsberg (which was still before 11.9!).

Hence a suit against the transport permit could make sense, in which the
litigants could cite danger prognoses used to justify bans on general
meetings in Göttingen and in the wider Lüneburg-Lüchow-Danenberg region.

For the above reasons I personally regard a road transport as unlikely, one
of the usual tricks to confuse critical citizens.

Stop Castor!
