Twenty Greenpeace activists blocked the loading of nuclear waste on to the Russian freighter, Kapitan Kuroptev, in the northern French port of le Havre. The ship was preparing to transport more than 450 tons of radioactive uranium waste originating from the Pierrelatte uranium enrichment plant in the Rhone Valley.
