6. Nov: Opening Demonstration in Dannenberg
Afterwards: Several actions
The CASTOR is a nuclear waste train from the nuclear reprocessing plant in La Hague (France) to the storage facility in Gorleben (Germany).
There will be a big opening demonstration in Dannenberg on the 6th November and several actions of civil disobedience on the following days. The nuclear transports to Gorleben always have been a key event for the German anti-nuclear and direct action movement. The protest has a lot of support from the local people.
You find the English translation of the Mobilisation Call against the CASTOR transport here.
When
According to investigations, the transport is supposed to start in La Hague on the 5th November and will arrive in the Wendland (the area around Gorleben) on the 7th. The transport is expected to be delayed heavily by protest actions.
Location
Gorleben is in the Wendland, an area in the north of Germany near Lüneburg. Most of the actions happen there, the nuclear waste will be transported on a train between Lüneburg and Dannenberg (approx. 50 km) and then changes to lorries. From there, it will be transported on the roads (approx. 30 km) to its destination in Gorleben.
Accommodation
There will be a couple of camps and other possibilities (town halls, churches) and it is usually no problem to find a place to stay during the action days.
Actions
