 “Ecodefense”: an echelon with German nuclear waste is coming to Russia - Environment - REGNUM
As it became known to Ekozashita group (“Ecodefense”), nuclear waste at the amount of 500 tons will be transported by sea to Saint-Petersburg, from where it wil lbe moved to closed city of Novouralsk (Sverdlovsk region).
According to Ecodefense, the route of the train goes through Saint-Petersburg, Vologda, Kirov, Perm, so the organization advises residents of these cities not to approach to railroads tracks because of possible leakage or crash.
Main reason of this scheme is Russian willingness to bury the wastes at its territory, because if EUrodif and URENCO will bury the wastes in their territories, it will lead to 4-5 times increase of price of uranium, and thus will make uranium production noncompetitive.

 Dossier - David Foreman
He is author of A Field Guide to Monkey Wrenching and Ecodefense, books that provide detailed instruction on how to sabotage equipment, industrial projects, roads and vehicles in the name of environmental protection.
Among the sabotage techniques outlined in Ecodefense is "tree spiking" -- the act of inserting long nails into trees to deter loggers from cutting them down.
