Opposition activities & Contact addresses

Greenpeace
Greenpeace is very active on both the plutonium/reprocessing and the nuclear transports issues in the Netherlands. Greenpeace has organised actions highlighting safety problems of nuclear transports and has contributed to the current de-facto moratorium on spent fuel transports to France and the UK prior to reprocessing since 1994.

LAKA/WISE-Amsterdam
LAKA, a foundation which has collected a significant documentation on nuclear issues and WISE-Amsterdam share office and staff. LAKA/WISE-Amsterdam is planning activities against future nuclear transports, spent fuel to be sent from Borssele to La Hague in France, from Dodewaard to Sellafield in the UK, and from the Petten research reactor to the HABOG interim storage facility. [NOTE: WISE-Paris is entirely independent of WISE-Amsterdam. The original organisational link, WISE-International, has been legally dissolved.]
